When Will the Name of the New Prime Minister of Great Britain Be Announced?

The name of the new Prime Minister of Great Britain will be announced on September 5 at 15:30 Yerevan time. According to Armenpress, this was reported by RIA Novosti, citing Sky News, which in turn references a statement by Andrew Stephenson, co-chairman of the Conservative Party.

According to the television channel, current Prime Minister Boris Johnson is likely to transfer his powers to the new leader of the ruling party no sooner than September 6, and the traditional question-and-answer session in the British Parliament will take place on September 7.

On July 7, Boris Johnson announced his decision to resign from the positions of Prime Minister of Great Britain and leader of the Conservative Party. Since the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland follows a parliamentary system, and the Conservative Party won the last parliamentary elections in 2019, the next Prime Minister will be selected from among the Conservative candidates.
