Keir Starmer became the 58th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on July 5, 2024, succeeding Rishi Sunak.
His appointment followed the Labour Party's victory in the general elections, securing 412 seats in the 650-seat House of Commons, marking a significant shift from the Conservative Party's previous leadership.
Keir Starmer's appointment marks the return of the Labour Party to power after 14 years, since Gordon Brown's tenure from 2007 to 2010.
He received the appointment from King Charles III, the monarch of the United Kingdom, and his win signifies a change in leadership dynamics in UK politics after a prolonged period under the Conservative Party.
