London: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is likely to resign from his position on Monday, according to British media reports. Sources suggest that he may step down and also present a roadmap for the election of a new Labour Party leader.
Reports indicate that Starmer has been facing increasing pressure from Labour Party MPs to set a clear timeline for leaving office. The pressure has intensified following political shifts within the party, particularly after Andy Burnham gained stronger support and returned to a more prominent political position.
According to British newspapers, internal party discussions suggest that a majority of Labour MPs are now leaning towards supporting Andy Burnham as a preferred leadership figure, increasing speculation about an imminent change in party leadership.
Political analysts say that if Keir Starmer resigns, the Labour Party will need to quickly initiate its internal leadership election process, which could mark a significant turning point in British politics.
However, there has been no official confirmation from the Prime Minister’s Office regarding the reported resignation, and the situation remains based on media speculation.
