British Prime Minister Resigns as Conservative Party leader

Following the landslide victory of Labour Party in the UK general election, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has resigned as leader of the Conservative Party.

In a historic political revolution, the opposition Labour Party won the British election, ending 14 years of rule by the Conservative Party.

Reacting to the historic loss, Sunak claimed responsibility, saying: “I am sorry.”

Sunak said he would not leave his role immediately but would do so once a Tory leadership race begins.

“I would like to say, first and foremost, I am sorry. I have given this job my all,” he said on the steps of 10 Downing Street. But you have sent a clear signal that the government of the United Kingdom must change.

“And yours is the only judgement that matters. I have heard your anger, your disappointment, and I take responsibility for this loss.

“I am honoured to have been your prime minister, this is the best country in the world.”

On his part, Labour leader, Keir Starmer, who is the incoming Prime Minister, expressed gratitude to the electorate, saying: “You have changed Britain. A weight has been lifted, a burden finally removed from the shoulders of this great nation, and now we can look forward again.”

The election result marks a significant change in British politics.

The Labour Party’s win is seen as a clear mandate from voters for a new direction.

Late Thursday, a reliable exit poll published found Labour on course to win 410 seats — just eight short of its highest-ever total.

Labour secured the 326 seats necessary for a parliamentary majority.
