Claim: Rishi Sunak elected as Britain's Prime Minister.
Fact-check: Rishi Sunak is an Indian-origin British MP who right now is just a contender to become the next PM of the UK - FACTLY
Verdict: boris johnson resigned as the conservative party leader; he is still the prime minister of uk till a new pm is elected reportedly by 05 september 2022. there need not necessarily be a general election in uk because, when a prime minister resigns, there isn't automatically a general election. in the race to become the leader of the conservative party and the next prime minister, eight candidates are in the fray. indian-origin british mp rishi sunak is one of them. rishi sunak's father-in-law is narayana murthy of infosys. as of now, rishi sunak is just a contender, he is not elected as the new prime minister of uk. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
