The United Kingdom's prime minister announced plans to resign effective September 1. The announcement followed poor polling numbers and the election to Parliament of a leadership challenger within the Labour Party. The prime minister will leave office once the party completes its leadership selection process. The new leader will also assume the role of prime minister.
The Labour Party is scheduled to select its next leader before September 1. That individual will then form a new government. The outgoing prime minister cited the election of the challenger as a key factor in the decision to step aside.
