Final two candidates for UK prime minister are Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss.

For the position of British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss advanced to the run-off for the Tory party leadership. In the most recent round of voting, Penny Mordaunt was eliminated.

Rishi Sunak has officially been the closest anybody of Indian descent has ever been to becoming British Prime Minister after his Conservative Party colleagues strongly supported him with 137 votes in today's final round.
The 42-year-old former Chancellor faces a considerably stiffer electorate of the Tory membership base, which has showed favouritism for his competitor Liz Truss in the majority of recent polls, so he is not guaranteed a similarly easy ride.

There is still time for the MPs' favourite to attempt to repeat that result at the conclusion of postal ballots on September 5, though, as another head-to-head televised debate between the final two candidates is set for the BBC on Monday and a number of hustings will be held across the UK.

In one of many debates and interviews since he began running for party leader earlier this month, Sunak stated, "This leadership contest is about more than simply being the leader of our party, it's about becoming the guardian of our United Kingdom."
