Rishi Sunak has conceded defeat in the United Kingdom (UK) general election, paving the way for the country’s first Labour Prime Minister (PM) in 14 years.
Labour chief Sir Keir Starmer celebrated a landslide majority in the House of Commons, calling it a “we did it” moment for supporters.
“We did it, you campaigned for it, you fought for it, you voted for it and now it has arrived, change begins now,” said Sir Starmer.
According to BBC, the Labour Party is on track to secure a 160-seat majority.
Outgoing PM Mr Sunak conceded defeat around 4.40am local time on Friday (5 July), following the news of his victory in the Richmond and Northallerton constituency.
Mr Sunak described his party’s loss as a “sobering verdict” from British voters and assured a “peaceful and orderly” transition of power.
