The Sunak ministry began on 25 October 2022 when Rishi Sunak was invited by King Charles III to succeed Liz Truss as prime minister of the United Kingdom. Truss resigned as leader of the Conservative Party the previous day after Sunak was elected unopposed as her successor. The Sunak ministry was formed from the 2019 Parliament of the United Kingdom, as a Conservative majority government. Sunak reshuffled his cabinet twice, first in February 2023 and later in November 2023.
On 22 May 2024, Sunak announced a general election on 4 July,[1] in which the Labour Party won a landslide victory, leading to the formations of the Starmer ministry and the Sunak shadow cabinet.[2]
