A special election in the UK could hasten the rise of Andy Burnham and the end for Keir Starmer
A special election in Makerfield, northwest England, holds significant implications for Keir Starmer's position as leader of the Labour Party. Andy Burnham, the current mayor of Greater Manchester, is the leading contender. His victory could trigger a leadership challenge against the embattled Starmer. The results are expected early Friday. This election is being closely watched globally.
