There is a process Rishi Sunak must go through before he officially becomes Prime Minister
Following Penny Mordaunt's departure from the leadership race, Rishi Sunak will now become Prime Minister.
However, the appointment is not automatic, at least not officially. Before being brought in as the next leader of the country, Mr Sunak and his predecessor Liz Truss have to jump through a few constitutional hoops. Firstly, Ms Truss needs to meet with King Charles and inform him in person that she is going to resign. Following this, Mr Sunak will also have to meet the King where he will then be asked to form a government under the Royal name.However, this will not likely happen today.
Because of this, it is likely that the audience will happen tomorrow , by which point Mr Sunak will officially be the next Prime Minister. It means Mr Sunak will be the third Prime Minister in less than two months, with the difficult task of stabilising the economy, uniting his fractured party, and uniting the country in support.
Mr Sunak reportedly told his party that "we have one chance. It is united or die" following a closed-doors meeting with MPs. He reportedly added:"We’re united behind the policy and now cannot afford the indulgence of division over personality."
