New Delhi: Liz Truss, the Prime Minister of Britain, resigned today after 45 days in power, the shortest term for a British Prime Minister. Her economic programme had sent shockwaves through the markets and divided her Conservative Party just six weeks after she was appointed over Rishi Sunak.
“Given the situation, I cannot carry out the mandate for which I was elected…I will remain as Prime Minister until a successor has been chosen,” Ms Truss told reporters today.
