2026 Labour Party leadership election

The upcoming 2026 Labour Party leadership election was triggered by Keir Starmer's 22 June 2026 announcement that, due to the lack of confidence in his leadership by his MPs, he intends to resign as Leader of the Labour Party and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Andy Burnham, the then-Greater Manchester Mayor, had been tipped as a potential leadership challenger to Starmer, but Labour rules dictate that only MPs can stand for the leadership.
