Rishi Sunak
Member of Parliament of the United Kingdom
Rishi Sunak is a British politician and member of the Conservative Party who became the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on October 25, 2022. Before becoming Prime Minister, Sunak held several key positions in government, most notably as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 2020 to 2022 under Prime Minister Boris Johnson. He played a crucial role in leading the UK’s economic response to the COVID-19 pandemic, implementing the furlough scheme, which helped millions of workers and businesses survive during lockdowns. His management of public finances during this time earned him praise for his decisive action, although his later handling of economic issues was a point of contention within his party, especially regarding rising inflation and energy costs.
