    UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss joins race for PM

UK Foreign Minister Liz Truss announced her candidacy for the Prime Ministerial race following Boris Johnson’s forced resignation. Truss said, in a Sunday article for The Telegraph, that she is joining the race because she can “lead, deliver and make the tough decisions. I have a clear vision of where we need to be, and the experience and resolve to get us there," adding that will “fight the election as a Conservative and govern as a Conservative.” 

The candidate cited challenges that the UK is currently faced with and included but did not limit her discussion to, Russia, China, and the economic crisis. Truss argued that under her leadership, she would "start cutting taxes from day one to take immediate action to help people deal with the cost of living," adding that she would also reverse the increase made by her predecessor regarding National insurance.

The way I see it there is only one person who can unify our Party and deliver for the British public and that’s Liz Truss.

I know she has a plan for our economy and will deliver on the promise we made to our voters. pic.twitter.com/wgVtxqgzjw

The minister said that if she became PM, she would get the United Kingdom "back on track towards becoming a high-growth and high-productivity powerhouse," based on "long-standing Conservative philosophy." 

In parallel, resigned UK Finance Minister Rishi Sunak is also a top contender to be the new British Prime Minister, following Boris Johnson's resignation from the Conservative Party on the 6th of July, Business Standard reported. Conservative MP Tom Tugendhat and Attorney General Suella Braverman have also officially announced their candidacies. In addition, former Equalities Minister Kemi Badenoch entered the race, last Saturday, to become the next leader of the British Tory party and the United Kingdom's prime minister.

Previously, Penny Mordaunt, junior trade minister, officially declared her candidacy for the leadership on Sunday, joining transport Secretary Grant Shapps, finance minister Nadhim Zahawi, and former ministers Jeremy Hunt and Sajid Javid, who announced their candidacies in time for Sunday newspapers, bringing the total to 10 candidates.
