The winner of the UK elections, Keir Starmer, was appointed Prime Minister by King Charles III this Friday after a meeting at Buckingham Palace in London.

According to News to the Minute, citing the Sky NewsThe new prime minister was presented to the monarch by royal aide Clive Alderton, as tradition dictates.

"This is an opportunity for Keir to set out to the king what he wants to do first in this first session of legislative change," said Bruce. The aide also said that this "is a very interesting moment for the king, as head of state, representing all of us".

In his first speech as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer began by saying that he had accepted King Charles' invitation to form the government of "this great nation".

Starmer then paid tribute to his predecessor Rishi Sunak, whom he thanked for the "extra effort" he faced in becoming "the first British Asian Prime Minister". "We also recognize the dedication and hard work he brought to his leadership," he said.

The Prime Minister pledged that his government will serve all Britons, even those who didn't vote Labour. "Politics can be a force for good. We will show that. Country first, party second," he said.

Starmer concluded his speech by saying that the work "is urgent" and that it will start "today".

Keir Starmer took office as prime minister after the center-left Labour Party won an absolute majority, with 410 MPs out of a total of 650, while the Conservative Party, previously in government, only elected 131 MPs.
