Keir Starmer of the Labour Party has emerged as the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom following a decisive victory in the general election.
Addressing a jubilant crowd in Central London after the win, Starmer declared, “We did it, change begins now. It feels good, I have to be honest.”
Labour was officially declared the winner after securing the required 326 parliamentary seats.
In his concession speech, outgoing Prime Minister Rishi Sunak accepted responsibility for the Conservative Party’s defeat. Sunak stated, “Britain has delivered a sobering verdict. On this difficult night, I’d like to express my gratitude to the people of Richmond and Northallerton constituency for your continued support. The Labour Party has won this general election, and I’ve called Sir Keir Starmer to congratulate him on his victory.
“Today, power will change hands in a peaceful and orderly manner, with goodwill on all sides. That is something that should give us all confidence in our country’s stability and future. The British people have delivered a sobering verdict tonight; there is much to learn, and I take responsibility for the loss.”
