About Sunak 
  • Rishi Sunak, 42, is the first British Asian prime minister since more than 200 years and will also be the youngest.
  • He succeeds Liz Truss, who had to resign in disgrace when her tax-cutting schemes failed within two months.
  • Even before Truss’s tax-cutting budget sent shockwaves through the market and caused the pound to plummet, the economy he inherited was on the verge of entering a recession.
  • After being forced to resign as Prime Minister in part because Mr. Rishi Sunak resigned as Chancellor, Boris Johnson may not be given a position in his cabinet.
  • The parents of Mr. Rishi Sunak are of Indian descent and arrived in the UK in the 1960s via East Africa.
  • He is wed to Akshata Murty, who is the daughter of Infosys founder Narayana Murthy.
