By Oct. 28, a new leader of the Conservative Party will be chosen. The Conservatives have a sizable majority in parliament and do not need to schedule a general election for another two years.

Rishi Sunak, a former finance minister, is most likely to face Penny Mordaunt in that race, although former premier Boris Johnson, who was forced from office in July when his ministers all quit at once, could also run again.

Speaking to reporters outside her office at Number 10 Downing Street, Truss acknowledged that she had lost the support of her party and announced that she would leave next week, making history's shortest-serving prime minister in the UK.
