Keir Starmer Meets King Charles New Prime Minister United Kingdom | the world

Labor leader Keir Starmer met King Charles III at Buckingham Palace this Friday (5) and was officially sworn in as the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The inquiry was formal as Labor won a majority of seats in the House of Commons in last Thursday’s election (4).

However, British tradition dictates that the government is formed only after formal approval by the monarch.

“Now our country has voted decisively for change and for a return to politics and public service,” Starmer said in his first speech as prime minister in front of the official residence. The phrase refers to the center-left’s return to power after nearly a decade and a half of conservative government.

Starmer noted that the public’s “distrust” in government over the last few years of the Tory government “can only be healed by actions, not words”.

Center-left Labor Party After 14 years, he secured a landslide victory in the British parliamentary elections. The party won over 410 seats in Parliament.

To win the election, it is necessary to win 326 of the 650 seats in the UK Parliament. As of the last update of this report, Labor had 412 compared to 120 for the Conservatives. Check out the numbers below.

During his victory speech, Starmer said the mandate would require “huge responsibility” and promised to act immediately to improve the country.

“Put politics back into public service. Show that politics can be a force for good,” he said.

The result is what the British media consider a “laundry” for Labour. On the other hand, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party suffered a historic defeat.

Current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak conceded defeat and called Starmer to congratulate him. He promised a peaceful and orderly transition.

See below the layout of the UK Parliament up to the last update:

• Labor Party (centre-left): 205 to 412 seats (+207)
• Conservative Party (centre-right): 120 (-224) out of 344 places
