Liz Truss has stepped down as the State leader of the UK political government, following a month and half in office.
She just made the declaration 24 hours in the wake of saying she was a fighter and would continue in office.
Truss succeeds Boris Johnson who resigned his appointment as PM in July over a series of scandals. Liz Truss said she would stay on until a new leader is elected.
According to a statement she issued through her verified official twitter handle @trussliz, says:
“I recognise however that, given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party.
I have therefore spoken to His Majesty The King to notify him that I am resigning as Leader of the Conservative Party.”

In the meantime Truss will continue to lead until a new leader which will succeed her is elected as she hinted might take place in the coming week.
