United Kingdom gets a new PM.
Keir Starmer will become the prime minister (PM) of the United Kingdom (UK). His party, the Labour Party, won the election against Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party, so they will now run the country.
Sunak congratulated Starmer on winning, showing how important it is to acknowledge our opponents gracefully after a defeat.
Sunak became Prime Minister about two years ago, taking over after resignations from previous PMs.
The UK’s prime-ministerial conundrum!
After Liz Truss resigned as PM, Rishi Sunak became the UK’s leader in October 2022. Before Truss, Boris Johnson was PM from 2019 until he resigned in July 2022.
Sunak tried to lead the country, but many people weren't happy, so they picked a new leader. Now, everyone hopes Keir Starmer will improve things and help the country grow.
Challenges ahead for the new PM!
Keir Starmer wants to improve the country for everyone and solve problems like job losses, strikes by junior doctors over pay rises, and water pollution.
His government also plans to improve and manage relationships with other countries.
How will the election affect the India-UK relationship?
Keir Starmer wants to strengthen the bond between India and the UK. He wants to work with India on technology, education, security, and climate change.
He also wants to earn the trust of the British-Indian community and has promised to work to make their lives better.
