Starmer resigned/ When will Britain have a new prime minister?

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the process to elect a new leader of the Labour Party will begin on July 9.

Starmer stated that he has asked the party's National Executive Committee to open nominations for the new leader on that date and to complete the process before Parliament's summer recess, which begins on July 16, writes the BBC. 

If a leadership contest takes place, the new leader would be chosen before Parliament returns from its summer recess on September 1. This means Britain could have a new prime minister as early as September.

However, it is not yet clear whether there will be an election contest. If Andy Burnham runs unopposed when nominations open on July 9, he could be declared leader of the Labour Party immediately after the nomination process closes.

Until the procedures are completed and his successor is chosen, Starmer will continue to exercise the duties of prime minister in the capacity of caretaker government. /CNA
