BREAKING: UK’s Labour Party Wins General Elections

The United Kingdom’s Labour Party had a triumphant win as the party swept to power early on Friday after winning the country’s general election, crossing the 326-seat threshold for a working majority in the House of Commons.

Labour leader, Keir Starmer, said, “A mandate like this comes with a great responsibility,” he told supporters at a rally in London after the results that sealed its win were announced.

BBC reports that as the final figures come in, Labour is expected to win 410 seats, with the Conservatives on 144.

Also, Rishi Sunak has accepted defeat, and said he called Starmer to congratulate him.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister-elect, Keir Starmer, has pledged to start a period of “national renewal” in the UK after his opposition Labour Party defeated the ruling Conservatives in the general election.

“Today we start the next chapter — begin the work of change, the mission of national renewal and start to rebuild our country,”

Starmer said in a triumphant victory speech in London after his party secured a majority in parliament.
