After 14 years, a Conservative will not be Prime Minister of Great Britain. This is the result of what the BBC says is the worst defeat of the Conservative Party in modern history.
Labor has convincingly won the election, paving the way for Keir Starmer to take over as prime minister. He is expected to visit King Charles during the day.
In his last address as Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, the first British Prime Minister of Asian origin, officially resigned as Prime Minister.
"I'm sorry, I gave everything to this job, but you gave a clear signal that the government of Great Britain must change. And your court is the only one that matters," Sunak said in an address outside the Prime Minister's residence in Downing Street.
He announced that he was also leaving the position of leader of the Conservative Party, and that the reconstruction of the party was needed. However, he added that he will not resign as the head of the party immediately, but once the official process for selecting his successor is completed.
"It is important that after 14 years of government, the Conservative Party is renewed, but also that it professionally and effectively takes over its key opposition role," added the outgoing prime minister.
He also said that the country is now stronger than it was 20 months ago when he first came to the position and that it is "more prosperous, fairer and more resilient than in 2010."
According to the results announced so far, Labor has won 411 positions, the Conservatives 119, the Liberal Democrats 71, Reform UK four and the Greens four.
