On October 20, 2022, at Downing Street, Ms. Truss announced her resignation. She stated that she had come to the realisation that she “cannot execute the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party.”
She said that a leadership contest to succeed her would take place within the coming week.

She said: “I have therefore spoken to His Majesty The King to notify him that I am resigning as leader of the Conservative Party.
“This morning I met the chairman of the 1922 Committee Sir Graham Brady. We have agreed that there will be a leadership election to be completed within the next week.
“This will ensure that we remain on a path to deliver our fiscal plans and maintain our countries economic stability and national security. I will remain as Prime Minister until a successor has been chosen.”
