Here are the 5 points on Rishi Sunak
Rishi Sunak, 42, was picked by Boris Johnson and appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer -- his first full cabinet position -- in February 2020.
He's seen by the bookmakers Ladbrokes as joint favorite alongside former Defence Secretary Penny Mordaunt. He became hugely popular during the pandemic after crafting a massive package worth tens of billions of pounds to help businesses and workers.
Nicknamed "Dishy" Rishi, he found himself on the backfoot over his wife's non-dom tax status, his US green card, and the perception of him being too slow to react to Britain's cost-of-living crisis.
A teetotaller, he was also fined for defying the Covid lockdown and participating in a Downing Street gathering.
Rishi Sunak's grandparents came from Punjab. He has two daughters with Akshata Murty, the daughter of Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy. They met while students in California.
