Boris Johnson takes over as the Prime Minister of the UK on Wednesday.

He is preparing to move into Downing Street after registering a landslide victory against Jeremy Hunt in the Tory leadership contest.

Theresa May will step down later, allowing Johnson to take the reins.

The incoming Prime Minister has pledged to deliver Brexit and unite the country.

Johnson will have just over three months to deliver his promise to take the UK out of the European Union by the October 31 deadline.
