In what could mark the end of Rishi Sunak's tenure as Britain's Prime Minister, the United Kingdom is gearing up for a decisive election this Thursday. Voters are set to render their verdict on Sunak's 20 months in office, and possibly elect a Labour Party government for the first time since 2005.

In the frenzied last days of his campaign, marked by visits to various sectors, Sunak maintained that the election's outcome is not predetermined. 'People can see that we have turned a corner,' insisted the Conservative leader, in office since October 2022.

Labour, led by Keir Starmer, has urged voters to back their center-left proposals for economic growth and infrastructure investment. While the party hasn't thrilled voters with bold promises, it has avoided major missteps, garnering voter support and endorsements from business communities and even some conservative-leaning newspapers.
