Sunak has been member of parliament from Richmond, Yorkshire, since 2015. Earlier, he held the post of a junior minister in the department of local government.
Brexiteer Rishi Sunak's appointment comes after Priti Patel was made Home Secretary, and junior minister Alok Sharma was promoted to the rank of international development minister. The appointments give a 'new look' to an otherwise conservative government.
