On Friday, outgoing UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak apologized to the nation following the Conservative Party’s significant defeat in the general election, its worst in recent history, and took responsibility for the outcome.
Sunak in his last speech to the nation as Prime Minister from outside 10 Downing Street said, “To the country, I would like to say first and foremost, I am sorry. I have given this job my all but you have sent a clear signal that the government of the United Kingdom must change and yours is the only judgement that matters. I take responsibility for this loss...Following this result, I will step down as party leader...”
The 44-year-old leader said that he will step down as leader of the Conservative party which suffered a landslide loss in the election.
“Following this result, I will step down as party leader,” he said, a move that is set to trigger a contest for the next Conservative leader.
