Shortly after assuming office, the newly elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Liz Truss, has appointed a British-Nigerian member of parliament, Kemi Badenoch, into her cabinet.
Recall that the 47-year-old Badenoch, a member of the Conservative Party, ran for British Prime Minister and finished in the top five in July polls.
In a post on the verified Twitter page of the UK Prime Minister, @10DowningStreet, Badenoch was appointed as the Secretary of State for International Trade and President of the Board of Trade.
The post read, “Kemi Badenoch MP @KemiBadenoch has been appointed Secretary of State for International Trade and President of the Board of Trade @TradeGovUK #reshuffle”
Other cabinet members to work with Truss as approved by Queen Elizabeth II, contained in a press release by 10 Downing Street are also announced.
