Reuters reported that Keir Starmer is expected to be the next Prime Minister of the UK as his Party is likely to win an overwhelming majority in the July 4 parliamentary election. Post-election polls show that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party is expected to suffer historic losses.
The center-left Participating Party is on track to win 410 out of 650 seats in the National Assembly - a staggering reversal in fate compared to 5 years ago when the party suffered its worst result since 1935.
This result will give the Party a majority of 170 votes and will end 14 years of chaos led by the Conservative Party.
We would like to thank everyone who campaigned for the Party in this election, to everyone who voted for us and put their trust in the Party, Mr. Starmer wrote on X.
Prime Minister Sunak's Conservative Party is expected to win only 131 seats, the worst election tally in the party's history. Voters sanctioned the Conservatives over the cost of living crisis as well as years of uncertainty and conflict that have seen five different prime ministers since the 2016 Trump vote.
The centre-right Free Democratic Party is expected to win 61 seats while the UK's right-wing reform party, headed by activist Brexit Nigel Farage - who has pledged to defeat the Conservative Party - is expected to win 13 seats.
Predicting the Reform Party much better than expected, this party comfortably took second place after the Party, pushing the Guard Party down to third place.
Most of the damage to the Conservative Party tonight is caused by the Reform Party, even if the Party benefits, John Curtice, a respected opinion pollster in the UK, told BBC.
However, the poll shows that the overall support of British voters has shifted to the center-left, unlike in France - where the far-right National Group (RN) of which Marine Le Pen is a member - won historic victories in the first round of elections on June 30.
Not only is the Conservative Party predicted to have failed, the pro-Independence Royal Party of Scotland is predicted to have won just 10 seats. This is the party's worst achievement since 2010, after a period of chaos that saw two leaders resign in less than a year.
In the last 6 UK elections, only one poll had wrong results. The official results will be available in the next few hours.
If the poll is correct, it would be a historic defeat for the Conservatives, one of the most resilient forces we have seen in British political history, said Keiran Pedley, research director at Ipsos.
