Liz Truss has won its leadership election and will take over from Boris Johnson tomorrow as the UK’s new leader.
She has been described as a tax-cutting crusader who modeled herself on Margaret Thatcher and endeared herself to the Conservative Party’s pro-Brexit right-wing, CNN reports.
Truss, who has served as Boris Johnson’s foreign secretary for the past year, won 57% of the votes of Conservative Party members to become its leader. Rishi Sunak took 43%.
