Rishi Sunak, the UK’s first British Asian Prime Minister, stepped down as Opposition Leader on Wednesday, marking his last session in Parliament. “I became leader of my party during Diwali, and I now stand down during that same festival,” Sunak reflected, connecting Diwali to key moments in his career. Appointed during Diwali in 2022, Sunak lit diyas with his family outside 10 Downing Street, honoring his heritage. Prime Minister Keir Starmer praised Sunak’s work and dedication, calling him an inspiration for Britain’s diversity. Sunak hinted he’ll be spending more time in Yorkshire as a Member of Parliament.
