UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced today, June 22, that he will step down as interim leader until a new leader is elected.
According to local media, former Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is seen as Starmer's main successor. He was recently elected as an MP.
Starmer's resignation comes after the Labour Party's poor performance in local elections and pressure from within the party. With his departure, the UK could welcome its seventh prime minister in a decade.
