On the eve of the UK general election, Keir Starmer reflected on his journey as Labour Party leader.
Since taking over in 2020, Starmer has transformed the party, leading it to a historic victory with a majority akin to Tony Blair's New Labour landslide of 1997.
Starting with the party's reeling defeat from the 2019 general election, he has demonstrated decisive leadership, purging elements tied to the previous leader, Jeremy Corbyn.
Despite crises such as Boris Johnson's 'partygate' and Liz Truss's 'mini-budget', Starmer's approach and resilience have brought the party back into power.
Raised in humble beginnings in Oxted, Surrey, Starmer's early life was marked by financial struggles and his mother's illness.
He later rose to prominence as a human rights lawyer.
His political career includes key roles as Director of Public Prosecutions and shadow Brexit secretary during Corbyn's leadership.
Now as he steps into 10 Downing Street, Starmer faces significant challenges, including Brexit impact, pandemic recovery, and economic constraints.
Nonetheless, he aims to bring transformative change, driven by his experiences and vision for the country.
