Tony
Blair
chose
the
town
of
Sedgefield,
the
heart
of
his
constituency
in
northeast
England,
to
make
his
long-awaited
announcement.
Tony
Blair
announces
he
will
step
down
as
prime
minister
on
June
27,
10
May
2007
"Today,
I
announce
my
decision
to
stand
down
from
the
leadership
of
the
Labour
Party,"
he
said.
"The
party
will
now
select
a
new
leader.
On
the
27th
of
June
I
will
tender
my
resignation
from
the
office
of
prime
minister
to
the
Queen."
With
these
words,
Mr.
Blair
began
the
transition
of
power.
The
Labour
Party
is
expected
to
select
current
treasury
chief,
chancellor
of
the
exchequer,
Gordon
Brown,
as
its
new
leader,
paving
the
way
for
him
to
become
prime
minister
on
June
27.
Speaking
to
party
members
in
Sedgefield,
Mr.
Blair
said
that
after
a
decade
in
power
it
was
time
to
go.
"I've
been
prime
minister
of
this
country
for
just
over
10
years,"
he
added.
"In
this
job
in
the
world
of
today,
I
think
that's
long
enough
for
me,
but
more
especially
for
the
country."
Mr.
Blair
recounted
some
of
his
government's
successes,
including
Britain's
booming
economy,
improvements
in
health
care,
employment
and
social
benefits.
He
also
talked
of
foreign
successes:
intervention
in
the
civil
conflicts
in
Kosovo
and
Sierra
Leone.
He
spoke
of
Britain's
part
in
the
fight
against
terrorism,
in
toppling
the
Taleban
in
Afghanistan
and
in
ousting
Saddam
Hussein
from
Iraq,
although
acknowledging
Britain's
involvement
in
Iraq
remains
a
deeply
controversial
issue.
Mr.
Blair
admitted
not
everyone
agrees
with
the
decisions
he
made
over
the
past
10
years.
"I
did
what
I
thought
was
right,"
he
said.
"I
may
have
been
wrong;
that's
your
call.
But,
believe
one
thing
if
nothing
else,
I
did
what
I
thought
was
right
for
our
country."
Mr.
Blair
acknowledged
that
not
all
expectations
he
had
come
into
office
with
had
been
fulfilled.
He
said
some
people
might
say
the
expectations
were
too
high,
but
he
said
he
would
not
have
wanted
it
any
other
way.
