The United Kingdom general election results have been announced and as predicted the Labour Party, led by Sir Keir Starmer, has secured a triumphant win against the Conservatives. With this, the United Kingdom sees a dramatic change in government — a first in 14 years.
Starmer, who will become Britain’s next prime minister, said after his personal win from his north London seat, “Tonight, people here and around the country have spoken. They are ready for change. The change begins right here because this is your democracy, your community and your future. You have voted and now it is time for us to deliver.”
Sunak will tender his resignation to head of state King Charles III, with the monarch then asking Starmer, as the leader of the largest party in parliament, to form a government.
Keir Starmer’s Labour Party will come to power facing a daunting challenge, with a sluggish economy, creaking public services, and falling living standards – all factors which contributed to the Conservatives’ demise.
