A victory without suspense, I wonder if it will dilute the joy of the winner of the election.
At 12:40 local time on September 5 (19:40 Beijing time), the election results were announced. 82.6% of the 172,000 Conservatives voted, and Liz Truss won 81,000 votes. Win the Conservative Party leadership election and automatically become the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
After the results were announced, Truss took the stage to deliver a speech.
Since becoming the last two contenders for the party leadership with Rishi Sunak, Truss has shown a solid lead, leading her opponent by 20 in various polls % surplus.
Truss's appointment ceremony will break with tradition - Queen Elizabeth II is spending summer in Balmoral, Scotland, due to mobility issues, she will change the practice of appointing a new prime minister at Buckingham Palace, and greet Truss in the north of the UK, inviting It forms a government. Truss thus became the 15th prime minister the Queen has worked with since she took the throne, and the third female British prime minister since Margaret Thatcher and Theresa May.
