98 DIFFERENT POLITICAL PARTIES COMPETING IN THE ELECTIONS

The new government to be formed will need the support of at least 326 members in the 650-member House of Commons. In the event that no party can achieve a majority in the parliament, the first person to take on the responsibility of forming a coalition government will become the country's prime minister. Among the most important of the 98 different political parties competing in the elections are the Conservative Party led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the Labour Party led by Keir Starmer, the Liberal Democrats led by Ed Davey, the Reform UK, a right-wing populist party led by Nigel Farage, the Scottish National Party (SNP) led by John Swinney, and the Green Party co-led by Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay. With the end of the voting process, the exit polls are expected to reveal the first results of the election at 22.00, while the official results are expected to be announced in the morning hours.

LABOUR PARTY FAVORITE IN THE POLLS

Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, whom the polls indicate will achieve a historic victory in the general elections, said that if people vote for them, the UK can "open a new page" today. In his message on election day, Starmer called on voters to put an end to the 14-year Conservative Party rule, saying, "The future of Britain is on the ballot paper. Vote today to leave the last 14 years behind." Promising change if he enters 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister's Office at Number 10 Downing Street, Starmer said, "Change will only be possible if you vote." Starmer said, "Today, Britain can open a new page. A new era full of hope and opportunity begins after 14 years of chaos and decline. The potential of our great nation is limitless. The British people deserve a government that matches their ambitions. Today is an opportunity to start rebuilding Britain with the Labour Party."

DISASTER PREDICTION FOR SUNAK

Some polls published by the British press before the elections indicated that the Conservative Party led by Rishi Sunak could face its heaviest defeat in history. The British press drew attention to the possibility that the number of seats of the Conservative Party in the House of Commons, the lower house of the UK Parliament, could drop below 100 and that the situation could result in Rishi Sunak losing party leadership. The latest poll published this week by the polling company YouGov MRP showed that the Labour Party had a 39% vote share, the Conservative Party had a 22% vote share, Reform UK had a 15% vote share, the Liberal Democrats had a 12% vote share, and the Green Party had a 7% vote share.
