Elio Somerset, The Viscount Ballure's second tenure as Prime Minister began on the 6 May 2026, following his second invitation to form a Government in the name of George VII. Also serving as Leader of the British Royalist Party, and also as Attorney General during his tenure, Ballure originally declined the first summons to the palace, following the results of the May 2026 General Election: while the only candidate running for the Premiership by the time the ballots opened, his party, the BRP,won only one seat from a roster of four candidates, and so Somerset felt unfit to govern. Following compromise talks, and other suitable candidates for Number Ten also refusing to form a Government - or being unable to do so - Ballure was convinced by the opposition coalition that he would have their official support to form a government, they would not serve within it. As such, Ballure accepted the second invitation to form a government. It made him the twelfth Prime Minister of King George VII, and the first non-Unionist Prime Minister to be elected since April 2025. It was Elio Somerset's second term as Prime Minister: at 3 years and 33 days, it is the longest gap between two successive tenures by any Prime Minister in the history of the region. Originally one of the few Prime Ministers to be appointed to the position without serving in any of the Great Offices of State when he took office in 2023, by the time he accepted the invitation to form a government the second time, he had served in all four Great Offices.
