Andy Burnham wins the by-election in Makerfield. He gets more than half of the votes. He was the mayor of Manchester before. Now he is a member of the British parliament.
Many people think: Andy Burnham wants to lead the Labour Party. He wants to be the Prime Minister. In a speech he says: The country needs real change. He wants more power for the north of England.
Keir Starmer is the current Prime Minister. He says congratulations to Burnham. But Starmer does not want to quit. He says: I take part in any leadership election. He wants to fight for his job.
The Labour Party has many arguments now. Some people want a quick change. Others want Starmer to stay. Wes Streeting is a possible candidate for leader too.
Burnham beats the party Reform UK. Their leader Nigel Farage is unhappy with the result. Almost 59 percent of the people voted in Makerfield.
