Rishi Sunak is the man of the hour. He has become Prime Minister of Great Britain and is the youngest Prime Minister in 200 years (he is 42) and the first of Indian origin.
While his private life has been of interest to Britons since he became Boris Johnson‘s Chancellor of the Exchequer, it is now that much of the rest of the world also wants to know who he is. So it is not surprising that, since his name began to be bandied about as a successor to Liz Truss, videos from this summer of a man who looks like Rishi Sunak dancing wildly on Ibiza have been circulating like wildfire on social media.
But no, it’s not him. It is a young man who looks a lot like him and who has ended up being labeled as Rishi Sunak without being Rishi Sunak. The images that accompany this news, recorded in the Ocean Beach Club of the island, have been published on the TikTok profile of Wayne Lineker, owner of the club with the phrase “Rishi Sunak trying to win over a group of Ibiza today and getting votes for his campaign”.
The video in question has 60,000 likes and has also served as the basis for memes on other social networks such as Twitter.
