The United Kingdom is witnessing a historical shift in politics as Keir Starmer’s Labour Party is poised to win the parliamentary election, according to exit polls. The Conservatives, led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, are facing their worst defeat in 14 years, with Labour predicted to win a landslide victory.
The Ipsos exit poll shows Labour winning 410 seats, while the Conservatives are projected to take only 131 seats. Other parties in the mix include the Liberal Democrats, Reform UK, the Scottish National Party, and the Green Party.
Results from the UK’s 650 constituencies are expected to determine the winning party, with the majority threshold set at 326 seats. If the Conservatives lose, Rishi Sunak would become the first sitting Prime Minister to lose his seat in a general election.
The live updates of the UK Election Results indicate that Keir Starmer’s Labour party has already registered a win in the first results. Another exit poll shows Labour heading for a massive majority in the general election, with 410 seats in the 650-seat parliament, while the Conservatives are forecasted to only take 131 seats.
As the final results trickle in, the country is bracing for a significant political change that could reshape the UK’s leadership for years to come.
