King Charles has approved the electorate's verdict that Keir Starmer is Britain's new leader. Conservative Rishi Runak lost in a landslide.an unambiguous and devastating message in Thursday’s general election, ending 14 years of Conservative rule with the party’s worst electoral result in its 200-year history. With the scale of his crushing defeat to Labour leader Keir Starmer clear, Sunak began his departure Friday with an apology.
The king technically has the final say on who becomes the prime minister of the U.K. government—officially “His Majesty’s Government”—though his seal approval is more or less entirely ceremonial in Britain’s constitutional monarchy system. The journeys to the palace made by the outgoing and incoming prime minister are nevertheless closely covered by the British media, with TV helicopters following their cars making their way to the palace gates for the highly symbolic handover of power.
This was the moment Britain's prime minister, Rishi Sunak, first acknowledged losing, as he won his own seat in parliament. Independent candidate Niko Omilana had the "L" sign prepared for the event.After greeting crowds of flag-waving supporters outside No. 10, Starmer made his first prime ministerial speech in front of the famous black door of his new home.
