Keir Starmer announces he will leave as an MP: "This is the right moment for me to step away"

Keir Starmer announced he will leave the position of MP, which will require elections to be held in the constituency of Holborn and St. Pancras, in London, which he had represented for 11 years. The decision marks the end of a significant stage in Starmer's political career, as he had held the position for more than a decade. The announcement was made by Starmer himself, who considered it to be the right moment to step away from active political life. His departure will trigger a by-election in the constituency he represented, opening space for a new representative in the lower house of parliament. The former Prime Minister expressed total support for his successor, Andy Burnham, reinforcing that the transition is proceeding amicably and that he maintains his confidence in the continuity of the political project he helped build.
