Sunak Sets July 4 Election Amid Conservative Struggles; Labour Party Favoured to Win
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced that the country's national election will take place on July 4. He chose this date, coinciding with positive economic news, to encourage voters to support his governing Conservative Party once more. The centre-right party, in power for 14 years, has seen a steady decline in support due to an economic slump, ethics scandals, and frequent changes in leadership over the past two years. The centre-left Labour Party is strongly favoured to win against the Conservatives. Voters will elect all 650 members of the House of Commons, and the party with a majority will form the next government, with its leader becoming prime minister. Labour leader Keir Starmer, a former chief prosecutor, is currently the frontrunner, bolstered by recent significant victories in local elections.
