The United Kingdom's Labour Party has triumphed in the general election, securing a working majority in the House of Commons early Friday.
With 326 seats needed for a majority, Labour surged past this threshold, setting the stage for significant political change.
Labour leader Keir Starmer addressed supporters at a celebratory rally in London, emphasizing the weight of their victory. "A mandate like this comes with a great responsibility," he stated, highlighting the gravity of the party's landslide win.
As the final numbers come in, Labour is projected to secure 410 seats, leaving the Conservatives with just 144. Conservative leader Rishi Sunak has conceded defeat, congratulating Starmer on his victory.
Prime Minister-elect Keir Starmer has committed to initiating a period of "national renewal" following Labour's victory over the ruling Conservatives. "Today we start the next chapter," Starmer proclaimed in his victory speech in London. "We begin the work of change, the mission of national renewal, and start to rebuild our country."
