Labour achieves absolute majority in UK House of Commons election

Keir Starmer of the Labour Party promised the country a "national renewal." With the victory of his party, he is now the new British Prime Minister. "Today we turn the next chapter - we begin the work of transformation, with the mission of national renewal and the rebuilding of our country," Starmer said in his victory speech in London.

According to post-election polls, the opposition Labour Party had already announced a landslide victory. The conservative Tories of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak reportedly suffered their worst defeat since the beginning of the 20th century and were clearly rejected as expected.

The partial result of the House of Commons election saw a majority for the Labor Party, ensuring Keir Starmer's rise as Prime Minister of Great Britain. Starmer's triumph marked a significant shift, as the Tories, led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, experienced their most substantial defeat in the House of Commons election since the early 20th century. Under Starmer's leadership, the Labor Party pledged to continue their mission of national renewal and rebuilding across Great Britain.
