UK General Elections Results 2024 Live: The future of Rishi Sunak, Britain’s first Prime Minister of Indian origin, and leader of the Conservative Party, hangs in the balance as millions of voters cast their ballots in a historic general election on Thursday. Opinion polls suggest the incumbent Conservative Party might win between 53 and 150 seats, with Labour projected to achieve a landslide victory. This would see Labour leader Keir Starmer become Prime Minister, the first Labour leader to enter 10 Downing Street since Gordon Brown in 2010. Counting will commence immediately, with the first results expected just before midnight local time (4:30 a.m. IST). Candidates have been fielded for 650 constituencies across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, with 326 seats required for a majority in the first-past-the-post system. Sunak and Starmer, who seeks to unseat him, were among the early voters from an estimated 46 million registered voters. Around 40,000 polling booths opened across the country at 7 am local time.
