Most of Tuesday's front pages carry Rishi Sunak's comments that Conservative MPs must "unite or die".
His "absolute focus" is bringing the party together again, according to The Times. The paper quotes sources close to him saying it will be a tough road ahead and, unless the party faces difficult decisions together, then they are finished.
The Guardian has also heard from Mr Sunak's allies, who claim that he will reach across the Tory party - in stark contrast, the paper says, to the "divisive purges" of Liz Truss or Boris Johnson.
The Daily Express says the incoming prime minister is the right man for the right time, due to his "intellectual calibre, grasp of policy and strength of character". The paper also describes his comeback, after losing to Liz Truss last month, as "extraordinary".
He was left "devastated" by that defeat, according to The Daily Telegraph, which quotes his allies as saying he can now implement his policy agenda.
The Daily Mail claims that Mr Sunak's victory is "a new dawn for Britain". The paper says he is determined to avoid the same errors made by his predecessor, and describes his journey to Downing Street as both "remarkable" and "inspirational".
It's a similar theme in The Sun, which says Mr Sunak has experienced a "meteoric rise" thanks to his "rigor and work ethic". The paper's front page features a doctored picture of him holding a lightsabre in reference to his love for Star Wars, with the headline "The force is with you, Rishi".
The Daily Mirror, meanwhile, asks the question "who voted for you?", and makes the point that another Tory MP is taking office without being officially elected. The paper says Mr Sunak is "clueless about ordinary people" and "intent on eye-watering cuts".
The i reports that grassroots Tories are angry after being denied a vote after Penny Mordaunt conceded. One now former Conservative party member said it was an "outrageous coup".
Many of the papers also speculate about the make-up of Rishi Sunak's cabinet.
The Times says Jeremy Hunt will likely stay as chancellor, and there will also be top jobs for Suella Braverman, Dominic Raab and Oliver Dowden.
The paper claims Penny Mordaunt will get a spot in the front-bench team - something that is echoed by The i and The Guardian, which says she could be made Foreign Secretary.
The Telegraph claims that Michael Gove will get a call-up and that Grant Shapps could return to the transport brief.
