Liz Truss, the head of the Conservative Party, was named as the new prime minister of the United Kingdom by Queen Elizabeth II on Tuesday.

“The Queen received Liz Truss at Balmoral Castle today. Her Majesty asked her to form a new Administration. Truss accepted Her Majesty’s offer and was appointed Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury,” The Royal Family tweeted.

After defeating former chancellor of the exchequer Rishi Sunak on Monday, Truss was chosen to lead the Conservative Party in the UK.

Truss became the first prime minister to be chosen by the Queen outside of Buckingham Palace, as is customary, in Scotland.

The new prime minister will return to London after his meeting with the monarch and give a speech in front of Downing Street.

Liz Truss, who is 47 years old, was elected as the third female prime minister of the UK.

Through a postal ballot among all Conservative members, Truss defeated Rishi Sunak. While Sunak received 60,399 votes, she received 81,326.

“I am honoured to be elected Leader of the Conservative Party. Thank you for putting your trust in me to lead and deliver for our great country. I will take bold action to get all of us through these tough times, grow our economy, and unleash the United Kingdom’s potential,” Truss wrote on Twitter.
