Liz Truss has stepped down
as leader of the Conservative Party and will remain prime minister only until a successor is chosen.
The British Prime Minister herself announced it in a short statement in Downing Street after disastrous weeks at the helm of the UK.
Only yesterday the last shock in the Tory government: the exit of the Minister of the Interior.
British Prime Minister Liz Truss announced, along with her resignation, that the vote for her succession will be held "between now and next week".
The government "has achieved results on energy bills", as well as "outlining a vision for a low-tax, high-growth economy that would exploit the freedoms of Brexit."
But "I recognize that, given the situation, I cannot complete the mandate for which I was elected by the Conservative party".
With these words, British Prime Minister Liz Truss announced her resignation, stating that she took office "at a time of great economic and international instability".
Liz Truss was
in office as UK premier for just 45 days, the shortest term of UK prime ministers
.
The second, the British media point out, was that of George Canning, who remained in office for 119 days before he died in 1827.
British opposition leader,
Labor Keir Starmer, called for elections "immediately"
following the resignation of Prime Minister Liz Truss.

The annual yield of British bonds fell 2.2 points to 3.84%, compared with an increase of 3.9 points in German ten-year Bunds to 2.4%.
