UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigned on June 22, 2026. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
Starmer's resignation was unexpected, but the reasons have not yet been specified. According to the Associated Press, the decision was made amid a political crisis in the UK. Starmer became prime minister after winning the general election in 2024.
No official statement on the resignation has been made yet, but experts suggest it may be linked to economic difficulties and the migration crisis in the country. It is unclear who will succeed Starmer, but the Labour Party may begin the process of electing a new leader.
According to the Associated Press, Starmer's resignation will affect the UK's political landscape and may cause instability until the next election. An acting prime minister may be appointed temporarily.
