Rishi Sunak appointed the new British PM by King Charles III

London: Rishi Sunak has been appointed as the new British Prime Minister by King Charles III on Tuesday. 

Sunak is now the UK's 57th prime minister after being asked to form a government by King Charles III.

He is the third prime minister this year and will enter Downing Street as the youngest PM in two centuries.

Sunak will be making a statement soon after he arrives at 10 Downing Street.Meanwhile, outgoing Prime Minister Liz Truss has officially become the shortest-serving PM in UK history after she was forced to step down just 45 days into office.

On Monday, former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak became the Conservative Party leader less than two months after he lost to Liz Truss in the Tory leadership race. 

Sunak's change in fate was triggered by the resignation of Truss after high-profile sackings and resignations in her Cabinet, following a heavily criticised mini-budget that left the UK pound tumbling.
