Andy Burnham Elected New Labour Leader, Now Set To Be U.K. PM
Veteran UK politician Andy Burnham was Friday confirmed as the new leader of the ruling Labour Party, and is now set to be Britain’s next prime minister.
“There being no other eligibly nominated candidate, it is therefore my honour to declare that the duly elected leader of the Labour Party is Andy Burnham,” interior minister Shabana Mahmood told a special party conference.
Burham is expected to be named the new UK Prime Minister next week.
