After his resignation, Starmer will remain a member of the British Parliament
Keir Starmer does not plan to resign his parliamentary seat after stepping down as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and will continue to serve in Parliament.
This was announced by his spokesperson.
Earlier, the British media had speculated that Starmer might follow the example of some former prime ministers and leave Parliament after stepping down, which would lead to a by-election in his London constituency.
However, his team has assured that he will remain a member of the House of Commons. It is also noted that Starmer is counting on the success of the next Labour Party government.
