British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has officially resigned from his post following a meeting with King Charles III at Buckingham Palace.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, the Royal Family's press office confirmed the development. During the audience, Starmer formally submitted his resignation as Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury, which the monarch accepted.
It is reported that Andy Burnham, the former Mayor of Greater Manchester, is set to become the new Prime Minister. He is expected to meet with King Charles III in the coming hours to receive the mandate to form a new government.
The resignation of a British Prime Minister triggers a significant constitutional process in the United Kingdom. Under the British parliamentary system, the monarch appoints the leader of the party most likely to command the confidence of the House of Commons as the new Prime Minister. This transition marks a pivotal moment in UK domestic politics, as the incoming administration will be tasked with addressing pressing economic and social challenges facing the nation.
