Whilst some grass root Tories felt delighted with Sunak ,others were rattled that Tory menbers were not able to vote for who they wanted in no 10 this time. (So were the British Public no doubt) Even Johnson supporters are now calling for a general election After they think Sunak knifed their hero in the back. Bet these Tories have very sore feet these days.

sunak was not even on the list of likely/possible successors for johnson in 2019… he was a junior minister from an extremely safe seat… i doubt even his constituents knew who he was.
Truss at least was already a front bencher and had a national profile… it was conceivable-ish she might take over should johnson die or leave office
i don’t think it’s unfair to say he doesn’t have a mandate

because people vote for parties in large part based on what they think of the leadership... lots of erstwhile labour supporters for example did not feel they could vote for the party while corbyn and his team were in charge of it.
to change leaders so radically and multiple times is technically allowed but it is dodgy... to take it to a silly extreme imagine if a given party started changing leadership every month after winning an election... i would argue in that instance the original mandate is completely overriden.
