Former British Minister of Economy

has confirmed this Sunday his candidacy for the primaries of

the Conservative Party,

formation in power, to replace

Liz Truss

at the head of the formation and the Government of the United Kingdom.

The party has started an internal process to choose its new leader after Truss announced his resignation on Thursday as a result of the turmoil that his economic program, with tax cuts that he was later forced to reverse, caused in the markets.

Sunak announced his candidacy on his Twitter account, stating that the UK is facing a "deep economic crisis" and that his goal is to overcome this crisis and unite the Conservative Party.
