UK elections: Opinion polls suggest Labour landslide

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak votes in his Richmond constituency as the British election enters its final hours


In the last hours of Thursday night’s general election in the United Kingdom, opinion polls indicate that the center-left Labour Party is expected to win a landslide majority in the House of Commons and establish a new administration following 14 years in opposition.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak cast a ballot in his Richmond constituency. Despite his Conservative party’s dismal polling numbers, Sunak has maintained that the results are not inevitable.

Sunak has faced much criticism over his policies, especially on immigration. (With inputs from agencies/media reports)
