Rishi Sunak ริชชี่ สุนาค
ลอนดอนกราด ..เคยเก็งกันว่าจะเป็น นายกฯ อังกฤษคนต่อไป
Born in Southampton to Indian parents who had emigrated from East Africa, Sunak was educated at Winchester College.
He subsequently read philosophy, politics and economics at Lincoln College, Oxford, and later gained an MBA from Stanford University as a Fulbright Scholar. While studying at Stanford, he met his future wife Akshata Murty, the daughter of N. R. Narayana Murthy, the Indian billionaire businessman who founded Infosys. Sunak and Murthy are among the richest people in Britain, with a combined fortune of £730m as of 2022.
After graduating, he worked for Goldman Sachs and later as a partner at the hedge fund firms The Children's Investment Fund Management and Theleme Partners.
Elected for Richmond (Yorks) at the 2015 general election, he served in Theresa May's second government as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Local Government.
He voted three times in favour of May's Brexit withdrawal agreement. After May resigned, Sunak was a supporter of Boris Johnson's campaign to become Conservative leader. After Johnson was elected and appointed Prime Minister, he appointed Sunak as Chief Secretary to the Treasury. Sunak replaced Sajid Javid as Chancellor of the Exchequer after his resignation in February 2020.
As Chancellor, Sunak was prominent in the government's economic response to the economic ramifications of the government's decision to impose lockdown to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. In April 2022, he became the first Chancellor in British history to have been sanctioned for breaking the law while in office after being issued a fixed penalty notice for breaching COVID-19 regulations during lockdowns.
He resigned as Chancellor on 5 July 2022, citing the economic policy differences between himself and Johnson in his resignation letter.
On 8 July 2022, he announced his candidacy to replace Johnson in the upcoming Conservative party leadership election.
