King Charles III appoints Sunak as UK Prime Minister

London: UK King Charles III appointed Rishi Sunak as the new prime minister and ordered him to form a government, Sky News reported.
On Monday, Sunak was elected head of the UK Conservative Party. He became the only candidate to run for office after House of Commons leader Penny Mordaunt announced she was withdrawing her candidacy.
Thus, Sunak officially became the prime minister after an audience with the King at Buckingham Palace.
After meeting with the King, the new prime minister will return to London and speak outside the Downing Street office.
Sunak became the first prime minister appointed by King Charles III and the third UK Prime Minister this year alone.

The highly-disciplined new Prime Minister likes to start every day with an early morning workout, either on the treadmill or on his beloved Peloton bike.
Rishi’s Hindu faith helps guide his lifestyle.
He is a lifelong teetotaler and doesn’t eat beef. When he became an MP, he swore his oath on the Hindu holy book, the Bhagavad Gita.
Fittingly, he became Prime Minister on the first day of Diwali, the religion’s most important festival.
It seems the new Prime Minister’s only vices are Coca-Cola, double chocolate muffins and enjoying “two biscuits” with a cup of tea, the Sun said.
However, in true Rishi style he fasts on Mondays to help him stay in shape.
The rigor and work-ethic which has marked him out throughout his career, first in banking and later politics, was honed during his upbringing in Southampton as the son of immigrant parents who moved to Britain in the 1960s.  (UNI)
