Andy Burnham was confirmed as the new leader of the UK's ruling Labour party on Friday.
It means he is now set to take over from Keir Starmer as the next prime minister, the UK's seventh in the decade since the Brexit vote.
Labour enjoys a large majority in parliament, meaning the party leader automatically becomes the country's prime minister, without the need for fresh elections.
There were no challengers to Burnham's leadership bid — his third in total after attempts in 2010 and 2015 failed.
How did Burnham replace Starmer?
