New Delhi, July 20 -- Andy Burnham has been appointed as United Kingdom's prime minister, becoming the country's seventh leader in just 10 years, since its departure from the European Union in 2016. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer stepped down, to be replaced by the former Greater Manchester Mayor.

Andy Burnham is officially the UK's 59th prime minister. He has been invited by King Charles to form a government in a private meeting at Buckingham Palace.

Andy Burnham became leader of UK's governing center-left Labour Party on Friday (18 July) after Keir Starmer resigned - becoming the shortest serving Labour prime minister in history - following pressure from within the party amid lagging poll ratings and Burnham's return to parliament.
