The selection of a new UK prime minister after the July resignation of Boris Johnson, the country’s colorful and often chaotic leader.

• Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak will be named as Britain’s new prime minister on Sept. 5.
• Relations between the U.S. and the U.K. will remain largely unchanged, experts predict.
• The new leader’s first order of business will be to tackle spiraling energy costs.

LONDON – A politician whose career is full of ideological U-turns and who has drawn comparisons to Margaret Thatcher, or a smooth-talking former banker whose fast rise to the top of British politics followed a privileged upbringing and lucrative marriage.

One of those two candidates – Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak – will be named as Britain’s new prime minister by the ruling Conservative Party on Monday.
