The Labour Party has won the UK election with an absolute majority, according to Reuters forecasts. Keir Starmer will become the next prime minister, with the party winning 410 of the 650 seats in parliament, ending 14 years of Conservative rule.
Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party is expected to win just 131 seats, down from 346 when parliament was dissolved.
The centrist Liberal Democrats are expected to win 61 seats, while Nigel Farage’s right-wing populist Reform UK party is expected to win 13 seats.
In the last six UK elections, only one exit poll has got it wrong – in 2015, when the poll predicted a hung parliament when the Conservatives actually won a majority.
Labour’s Keir Starmer has expressed his gratitude to everyone who worked for and voted for the Labour Party.
“To everyone who campaigned for the Labour Party in this election, to everyone who voted for us and trusted our changed Labour Party – thank you,” Starmer wrote in X.
The official results will be published in the next few hours.
