LONDON, July 21 — Conservative rivals Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss, offering competing answers to Britain’s multiple crises, will duel in the coming weeks to become the next prime minister after the party’s lawmakers held a concluding vote Wednesday.
The result will be announced on September 5. But Britain is already guaranteed to get either its first prime minister of colour or its third woman leader. At his last Prime Minister’s Questions session in parliament earlier, Johnson bowed out by saying “Hasta la vista, baby!”. Former minister David Davis, a Mordaunt backer, accused Sunak of lending Truss votes so he could face her in the run-off.
