The Labour Party has won a historic landslide victory at the 2024 U.K. general election, defeating the ruling Conservative Party.
The transfer of power in the U.K. is brisk, and the Labour leader Keir Starmer is now set to become the 58th prime minister, after he visits King Charles at Buckingham Palace on Friday. After tendering his resignation to the King, it is widely expected that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will also step down as leader of the Conservatives.
