Liz Truss, the 56th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, is the third woman to hold the position after she received 81,326 votes to former Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak's 60,399.
Now that she is Prime Minister, replacing Boris Johnson, Truss will be tasked with solving the U.K.'s economic hardships, especially the cost of living problem. This will determine both the course of her premiership and her chances of winning a personal mandate in the general election that follows.
