The Labour Party is poised for a decisive victory in the UK general election, according to exit polls, securing 410 out of the 650 seats in Parliament. This landslide victory would see Sir Keir Starmer, the Labour Party leader, become the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The Conservative Party, led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, faces a crushing defeat, a stark reversal of fortune after their 2019 general election win. The exit polls project a dramatic reduction in their seats, down from 365 in 2019 to a mere 131.
The exit polls, released shortly after voting ended at 10 am BST (2:30 pm IST), were conducted by Ipsos, commissioned by the BBC, Sky News, and ITV News. The polls reveal a clear shift in the political landscape, with the Labour Party receiving substantial support from voters.
The Liberal Democrats are projected to gain 61 seats, the Reform Party 13, the SNP 10, Plaid Cymru 4, the Green Party 2, and other parties taking 19 seats. This suggests a significant realignment of political power in the United Kingdom, with the Labour Party positioned to lead the nation after the election results are officially announced.
