Leaders of the Conservative Party

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson - ousted by ethics scandals just three months ago - jockeyed to make a comeback on Oct. 21 as one of several contenders seeking to replace Liz Truss, whose rapid downfall threw the country's leadership into disarray at a time of severe economic challenges.

Liz Truss became Britain's next prime minister on Tuesday after meeting with Queen Elizabeth II, who asked her to form a new government as the country faces an acute cost-of-living crisis.

Truss, 47, took office in the carefully choreographed ceremony with the monarch a day after the ruling Conservative Party announced that Truss was elected as its leader.

Britain's new Conservative leader Liz Truss Monday vowed "bold" action to confront a biting economic crisis as she was confirmed as successor to Prime Minister Boris Johnson after a gruelling party contest.
