Liz Truss the British Prime Minister resigned from her role as Tory Leader and will stay in her role as PM until a new leader is chosen by the party who will take over from her in coming days
There is a lesson here for African leaders, there is nothing like sit-tight leaders or leading because of sentiments, if you are not competent enough and unable to usher in effective and virile leadership, your best option is resignation
Kudos to Liz Truss for taking the bull by the horn resigning after 6 weeks in office after the latest fiasco on economic front and leadership crisis
If there should be general election today, its given that Conservative Party is toast for dinner, British people will vote overwhelmingly against the party, coupled with Scottish Parliament asking for break away from United Kingdom. 2022, is an interesting political year in United Kingdom.

In less than two months after she assumed office as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Liz Truss has resigned from office.
Ms Truss announced her resignation on Thursday during a press briefing outside Downing Street
More than a dozen parliamentarians from her Conservative Party had called for her resignation amidst nationwide economic challenges.
At least two members of her cabinet have also had to resign from office.
Ms Truss said she was resigning because she could not deliver the mandate she was elected for.
She noted she had notified the British monarch, who is the head of state, of her resignation as Tory leader.
There will be an election to choose a new prime minister in the coming week, Ms Truss said. She will remain in the position until then.
Her resignation comes after she met the chairperson of the 1922 Committee of backbench as calls for her resignation intensified.

Ms Truss’s government came under pressure and doubt when her former chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, announced the mini-budget which threw the country into financial turmoil.
On Wednesday, the Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, announced her resignation saying she sent official documents from her personal email.
Ms Truss becomes the shortest-serving prime minister with 45 days in office.
