"I served as your Chancellor, helping to steer our economy through the toughest of times. The challenges we face now are even greater. But the opportunities - if we make the right choice - are phenomenal," he said.
"I have the track record of delivery, a clear plan to fix the biggest problems we face and I will deliver on the promise of the 2019 manifesto. There will be integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level of the government I lead and I will work day in and day out to get the job done," he added.
"I am asking you for the opportunity to help fix our problems. To lead our Party and country forward towards the next General Election, confident in our record, firm in our convictions and ready to lead again." appealed Rishi Sunak.
Sunak was defeated by Truss in the race to replace Boris Johnson in September after losing an election held by members of the Conservative party across the country.
