Keir Starmer is poised to become Britain's next prime minister following the Labour Party's overwhelming victory in the parliamentary elections. This triumph marks a severe blow to incumbent premier Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party.

Securing the required majority, Starmer addressed a jubilant crowd in London, promising that change begins now and pledging national renewal after 14 years of Conservative governance.

Meanwhile, Sunak, who retained his own seat, accepted his party's defeat. He assured a peaceful transfer of power, highlighting the bitter electoral result for the Conservatives, who saw many prominent figures, including Grant Shapps and Penny Mordaunt, lose their seats. The Labour Party, predicted to win around 410 seats, has fundamentally shifted the UK's political landscape.
