Keir Starmer Assumes Office as UK Prime Minister, Delivers Inaugural Speech

Date:

Keir Starmer has officially taken office as the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, delivering his inaugural address outside No. 10 Downing Street shortly after arriving with his wife, Victoria Starmer. Following his meeting with King Charles III at Buckingham Palace, where he received the monarch’s approval to form a new government, Starmer was greeted by enthusiastic Labour Party supporters lining Downing Street, waving Union Jack flags in celebration.

In his first speech as Prime Minister, Starmer expressed gratitude to his predecessor, Rishi Sunak, and immediately emphasized the commencement of transformative work under his leadership. The ceremony at Buckingham Palace, traditionally known as the “kissing of hands,” marked the formal transition of power, with a symbolic photo capturing the moment as Starmer assumed his new role.

With the Labour Party securing a parliamentary majority in the 2024 general election, Starmer’s ascendancy to Prime Minister underscores a pivotal shift in British politics, as he prepares to lead the country forward amidst ongoing electoral developments.
