UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced his resignation, bringing an end to his tenure less than two years after leading the Labour Party to a landslide general election victory.
Starmer’s decision follows months of internal party unrest and a series of disappointing local election results that dealt a significant blow to Labour’s political standing.
In a statement announcing his departure, the Prime Minister said he would remain in office until the Labour Party selects a new leader to succeed him, ensuring a smooth transition of power.
Former Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has emerged as the leading contender to replace Starmer, with party members and political observers closely watching the leadership race.
The resignation marks a major development in British politics and signals the beginning of a new chapter for the Labour Party as it seeks to regain momentum ahead of future electoral contests.
More details to follow.
