Conservative leader David Cameron is the new UK prime minister after the resignation of Gordon Brown.
Mr Cameron, 43, has left Buckingham Palace after formally accepting the Queen’s request to form a government.
Mr Cameron’s Conservative Party won the most seats in the UK general election last week, but not an overall majority and have been in coalition talks.
It is not yet known whether they have reached a formal agreement with the Lib Dems to form a coalition.
The Conservatives have been in days of negotiations with the Lib Dems – who were also negotiating with Labour – after the UK election resulted in a hung parliament.
But the Lib Dems said talks with Labour failed because “the Labour Party never took seriously the prospects of forming a progressive, reforming government.”
