Sunak, the former finance minister, took office as British prime minister on October 25 replacing Liz Truss and became the country’s third prime minister in a year. Sunak’s origins can be traced back to the city of Gujranwala in the undivided state of Punjab in India. His grandparents moved to East Africa in the late 1930s before settling in Britain in the 1960s. Sunak was born in 1980 on the south coast of Britain in the port city of Southampton.
