The Sunak ministry began on 25 October 2022 when Rishi Sunak was invited by King Charles III to succeed Liz Truss as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The previous day, Sunak had been elected unopposed as leader of the Conservative Party following Truss's resignation.

Sunak reshuffled his cabinet twice, first in February 2023 and later in November 2023.
On 22 May 2024, Sunak announced a general election on 4 July, in which the Labour Party won a landslide victory, leading to the formations of the Starmer ministry and the Sunak shadow cabinet.
