According to a BBC exit poll after a July 4 general election, Labour was set to oust the Conservatives for the first time in 14 years.
The exit polls for the general election in the United Kingdom suggested that the Conservatives would lose control of the government to the Labour Party for the first time in 14 years.
According to the results of a BBC exit poll released on July 4, Labour will take 410 seats in Parliament, cementing its status as the ruling party in the United Kingdom. The poll suggested that Labour leader Keir Starmer would become the next U.K. Prime Minister, ousting Rishi Sunak, who has served in the position since October 2022. Conservatives could keep roughly 131 seats.
The BBC poll was based on data from voters at roughly 130 polling stations in England, Scotland and Wales, but not Northern Ireland. The official election results were unclear at the time of publication but are expected to be announced on July 5.
