Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss through to final round of UK PM race

Former finance minister Rishi Sunak and foreign secretary Liz Truss will battle it out to become Britain’s next prime minister after they won the final vote among Conservative Party MPs, setting up the last stage of the contest to replace former leader Boris Johnson.
Johnson was forced to resign this month after he lost the support of his legislators following months of scandals, including breaches of COVID-19 pandemic lockdown rules.
Sunak has led in all rounds of the voting among Conservative legislators but it is Truss who seems to have gained the advantage so far among the 200,000 members of the governing party who will ultimately choose the winner.

Al Jazeera’s Jonah Hull reports from London.

Rishi Sunak is far more better than liz. He was single handedly tackling every question from everyone without hesitation. Talking about betrayal "scandal" Is a key world we are missing.

The UK is digging the bottom of the barrel to turn up these two clowns as candidate for PM. Both are highly morally unqualified. Is that all you have got UK?

[canadianloon]

Sunak talks big but can't see that he'll turn the economy around.
Big talk

[AnkitSingh-dkll]

This British parliament is a comedy circus

[panda]

Why are either of these 2 clowns in the running? Why aren’t they voted in by the public…

[hippopole]

[edoguymustard]

Rushi just betrayed Johnson 😪 and secondly from India 🇮🇳 so no chance for him

[mirakbar]

So, it is Indians turn to rule British. not bad.

[Putin_TheKattarRussian]

Indians are very proud of Rishi Sunak as if they are eligible to vote in Britain. They feeling proud is because the candidate is also an Indian, same here in India they give vote to a representative on the Basis of Religion, caste, gender etc and not on the basis of work or history of experience the candidate possess. This is why India suffers a lot from corruption due to poor political selection which ruins the social and economic growth.

[bighumph]
