In the UK general election, an Exit Poll showed the Labour Party securing a majority of seats, ending the 14-year rule of the Conservative Party. Current Prime Minister Sunak has admitted defeat. Reports suggest Sunak will announce his resignation as Conservative Party leader shortly. Labour Party won the majority of the 650 seats, marking the Conservative Party's worst performance in history. Labour leader Starmer will succeed Sunak. CNN predicts Labour winning 410 seats and Conservatives dropping to only 131 seats, reflecting voter distrust towards the ruling party. Starmer's disciplined campaign emphasizing 'change' benefitted from Conservative Party's poor publicity. Starmer, a former human rights lawyer, has led the Labour Party towards a more centrist position appealing to voters since becoming party leader in 2020.
