On Monday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that he will step down after losing backing from members of his center-left Labour Party.

Starmer said he informed King Charles III of his decision and will remain as caretaker prime minister until a new leader is selected, according to reports.

“I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question, and I accept that answer with good grace.”

Former Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham, recently returned to Parliament, is widely seen as the leading candidate to succeed Starmer and restore Labour’s political momentum.

The U.K. now faces its seventh prime minister in a decade as internal party pressure reshapes the country’s leadership landscape.
