In a historic victory, the United Kingdom’s Labour Party has secured a commanding win in the country’s general election, achieving a working majority in the House of Commons by crossing the crucial 326-seat threshold.
Labour leader Keir Starmer addressed supporters at a jubilant dawn rally in London, expressing the gravity of the mandate. “A mandate like this comes with a great responsibility,” he remarked, moments after the results confirming Labour’s landslide win were announced.
According to the BBC, Labour is projected to win 410 seats, while the Conservatives are expected to hold just 144.
Following the defeat, Rishi Sunak conceded and congratulated Starmer in a phone call.
Prime Minister-elect Keir Starmer has vowed to initiate a period of “national renewal” in the UK. In his victory speech, Starmer emphasized the beginning of a new chapter for the nation. “Today we start the next chapter — begin the work of change, the mission of national renewal and start to rebuild our country,” he declared.
Stay tuned for further developments as Labour prepares to take the reins and embark on its mission to reshape the country’s future.
