(FILES) Rishi Sunak, former chancellor to the exchequer and contender to become the country's next prime minister and leader of the Conservative party, poses outside Raymond Road Doctors Surgery where his father used to be a GP in Southampton on August 24, 2022. Rishi Sunak is seeking his own public mandate at next month's general election, on July 4, 2024, having been installed as Conservative leader and UK prime minister by his own colleagues in parliament. The 44-year-old former financier was tasked with stabilising the UK economy, and his own notoriously fractious party, when he succeeded Liz Truss in October 2022 after her 49-day premiership imploded.
