Andy Burnham becomes UK Prime Minister
Andy Burnham replaces Keir Starmer as UK Prime Minister.
Event Overview
Andy Burnham has been declared the leader of the governing Labour Party and is scheduled to become the next UK Prime Minister on Monday. He was the sole candidate to secure enough support from Labour lawmakers following the resignation of Keir Starmer on June 22. Starmer resigned after poor local election results and a controversial ambassadorial appointment. Because Labour holds a majority, the transition occurs without a general election.
