Local leaders have sent their best wishes to new United Kingdom Prime Minister Liz Truss as she begins her time at the helm of the Conservative government after a battle for leadership which saw the departure of Boris Johnson from 10 Downing Street.
Premier Wayne Panton, in a statement to the Cayman Compass on Truss’s elevation to Prime Minister, congratulated her on behalf of the Cayman Islands Government on her “well-deserved recent appointment”.
“Having already held several esteemed titles, including Britain’s first female Lord Chancellor and the second female Foreign Secretary, we have full confidence in the Rt Hon Truss to serve her country as the third female Prime Minister with distinction. The Government and the people of the Cayman Islands wish her well in every endeavour as she leads the United Kingdom in these challenging times,” Panton said in the statement.

Opposition Leader Roy McTaggart, in a statement to the Compass Tuesday afternoon, also sent his best wishes to the new Prime Minister.
“My colleagues in the Opposition and I congratulate Prime Minister Liz Truss on her election as Head of the Conservative Party and subsequently becoming Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The Prime Minister takes the helm at a crucial time for the United Kingdom and the British People, with a cost of living crisis, an energy crisis, and war in Ukraine as three significant challenges. We wish Prime Minister Truss and her Government every success and best wishes,” he said.
