After
spending just six weeks in office as the Prime Minister of the United
Kingdom, Ms Liz Truss resigned from office on Thursday.
She announced her resignation during a press briefing outside Downing Street.
In a statement she read, she said she could not deliver on the mandate she was elected and had notified the King that she was resigning as Tory leader.
“There will be Conservative leadership election to be completed within the next week,” she says.
More than a dozen parliamentarians from her Conservative Party had called for her resignation amidst nationwide economic challenges.
At least two members of her cabinet have also had to resign from office.
