Boris Johnson, in a speech to win the leadership of the ruling Conservative Party in Britain, and then prime minister, pledged to complete the implementation of his country's exit from the European Union, by 31 October.
Johnson praised outgoing Prime Minister Teresa Mae, who is due to leave her today, spoke of her "exceptional service" and "passion and determination" in politics.
"We will implement Britain's exit from the European Union, with a new spirit of enthusiasm."
"I think we know we can do this, and the people of this country trust us to do so," he said. The campaign is over and work has begun. "
British Prime Minister Theresa May congratulated Johnson, urging him to "work together to implement the exit from the European Union, in a way that benefits the entire United Kingdom."
It also demanded that the conservatives be removed from the government by opposition party leader Jeremy Corbin.
"I will have my full support from the back seats of parliament," she said.
Jeremy Corbin, meanwhile, called for a general election after Johnson's victory in the ruling Conservative Party and then prime minister. Corbin described the Conservative Party election as "unrepresentative."
"Boris Johnson has received support from less than 100,000 Conservative members, promises of tax cuts for the rich, himself as a friend of the bankers, and a push for a damaging exit without agreement from the European Union," the Labor leader wrote on Twitter. .
"He did not win the support of our country," he said. "Getting out without an agreement he talks about would mean job cuts, rising commodity prices and risking selling national health services to US companies in a friendly agreement with Donald Trump."
"Our people must decide in a general election who will be the prime minister," he said.
Johnson, who won two-thirds of the votes in the Conservative Party and Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, was named as the new prime minister of Britain after he won 92,153 votes from 46,666 votes.
