Prime Minister Rishi Sunak expressed regret for the performance of his party.
In the UK general election, the Conservatives were soundly defeated by the Labour Party. Rishi Sunak will be replaced as prime minister by party leader Keir Starmer.
With the counting of votes still proceeding, Labour has secured 409 seats in Parliament, while the Conservatives have secured 120 seats, the fewest in their history. In total, there are 650 seats.
Six weeks ago, Sunak shocked the nation by calling for elections in the sixth-largest economy in the world and one of the United States' most significant allies. Sunak stated that the British people had "delivered a sobering verdict" and accepted "responsibility for the loss."
During his triumphal address, Starmer, a centrist and former prosecutor who backs both Ukraine and NATO, pledged to "govern for every single person in this country."
Pro-Brexit and anti-immigration activist Nigel Farage has been elected to the British Parliament for the ninth time. The head of Reform UK and Trump ally will represent the decaying southern English beach resort of Clacton.
