New Delhi: In a historic election, Keir Starmer of the Labour Party emerged victorious over Rishi Sunak. This landmark electoral contest in the United Kingdom saw Starmer’s Labour Party securing a significant majority, marking a pivotal shift in British politics.
Keir Starmer, aged 61, is now poised to become the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom following a decisive electoral mandate. Addressing a jubilant crowd in London, Starmer declared, “We have achieved it, you campaigned for it, fought for it, and now it has arrived; change begins now.” He emphasized a commitment to national renewal and effective governance, acknowledging the weight of responsibility that comes with such a strong mandate.
