The United Kingdom, UK Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak has conceded defeat in the just concluded general election – putting Sir Keir Starmer on course to enter Downing Street as the country’s first Labour prime minister in 14 years.

The Prime Minister, who won his Richmond and Northallerton seat, admitted it had been a “difficult” night for the party.

He said:

“On this difficult night, I’d like to express my gratitude to the people of the Richmond and northallerton constituency for your continued support. Since I moved here a decade ago. You have made me and my family feel so at home, and I look forward to continuing to serve as your Member of Parliament. It is an enormous privilege.

I’m grateful to my agent and constituency team, and I congratulate my opponents here on the energetic and very good natured campaigns that they have run.

The Labour Party has won this general election. And I have called Sir Kleir 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 reflect on and I take responsibility for the loss. Too many good, hard working conservative candidates have lost despite their tireless efforts, their local records of delivery and their dedication to their communities.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
