LONDON: Rishi Sunak is expected to keep Jeremy Hunt as Chancellor of the Exchequer as he seeks to calm markets and form a united government when he becomes UK prime minister on Tuesday.
The incoming premier will formally take over from Liz Truss following a meeting with King Charles III, before addressing the nation and appointing members of his cabinet. His challenge is finding a balance between rewarding loyalists who backed his two leadership campaigns this year, while ensuring party unity by including figures from across warring factions.
