‘Change begins now’ says Keir Starmer as Labour Wins UK General Election
The Labour Party has passed the crucial threshold of 326 seats, securing it a parliamentary majority and ensuring Keir Starmer will become UK prime minister in the coming hours.
Outgoing PM and Conservative Party leader, Rishi Sunak conceded defeat, telling people at the count in his seat:”I’m sorry.”
“The Labour Party has won this election,” Sunak said, adding that he had called Starmer to congratulate him and concede the election.
The soon to be new UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has addressed cheering supporters at a Labour Party victory rally in central London, pledge ” national renewal” following 14 years of Conservative rule.
“You campaigned for it, you fought for it, you voted for it and now it has arrived. Change begins now,” Starmer told Labour staff. “It feels good, I have to be honest …. This is what it is for. A changed Labour Party, ready to serve our country.”
However, Starmer cautioned that having “a mandate like this comes with a great responsibility.”
