K Election Results 2024 LIVE: UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak conceded the Conservative Party's defeat in the 2024 general election on Friday and congratulated Labour Party Prime Minister candidate Keir Starmer following the election loss. Britain’s Labour Party is poised for a landslide victory in the parliamentary election held on Thursday. As of 7.05 am (UK local time), the Labour Party led by Keir Starmer has won 407 seats and crossed the majority mark of 326 seats to form the government..

The poll, released just after voting ended, suggested that centre-left Labour leader Keir Starmer would be the next prime minister. He will face an electorate eager for change amid economic struggles, increasing distrust in institutions, and a fraying social fabric.

As thousands of electoral staff tallied millions of ballot papers at counting centres across the country, the Conservatives absorbed the shock of a historic defeat that will leave the depleted party in disarray

 and likely spark a contest to replace Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as a leader.

Here are the number of seats won (Official)

Conservative Party - 119

Labour Party - 410

Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP) - 8

Liberal Democrats - 58

Reform UK - 4

Others - 1
