As per the information, the Newly elected Prime Minister of the UK, Liz Truss, will appoint James Cleverly as foreign secretary, Suella Braverman as home secretary and Kwasi Kwarteng as chancellor.

The expected positions were greeted by some ministers, including Boris Johnson’s former race adviser, Samuel Kasumu, who resigned last year after a controversial report by the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities, which critics said dismissed institutional racism.

The elected leader of the conservative party and Prime Minister of the UK will be succeeding the former PM of the UK Boris Jhonson, who was pushed to announce his resignation in July after months of scandals saw support for his administration drain away, and ministers quit to force him out.

Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson will deliver a speech outside Downing Street, then travel to Scotland to meet Queen Elizabeth at her Balmoral Castle residence to officially tender his resignation.
