Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss faced a significant setback as she lost her parliamentary seat less than two years after assuming office. Truss's tenure as prime minister was notably brief, lasting only six weeks, making it the shortest in British history. Her premiership came to an abrupt end following a turbulent financial plan that rattled markets and led to a sharp decline in the pound's value.
Despite efforts by Rishi Sunak to distance the Conservative Party from Truss's leadership, she continued to represent the party in the constituency she had served since 2010. Truss now finds herself at the forefront of the Conservatives' electoral defeat, marking a historic night where the ruling party faced a resounding rejection by voters.
