The party confirmed this
in a tweet on Monday.
Sunak, who came second
in the last ballot won by Liz Truss, emerged unopposed after the withdrawal of
fellow contender, Penny Mordaunt.
Mordaunt failed to get
100 nominations that will help her progress in the contest.
Foreign media reported
that Former PM Boris Johnson was planning a comeback but later said “it’s not
the right time” for him to return to the office.
Meanwhile, Mordaunt
urged Britons to back Rishi’s administration.
“This decision is an
historic one and shows, once again, the diversity and talent of our party.
Rishi has my full support,” Mordaunt tweeted.
