Labour leader Keir Starmer, speaking at a dawn rally in London, emphasized the gravity of the mandate: “A mandate like this comes with a great responsibility.” As results continued to pour in, the BBC projected Labour to win 410 seats, leaving the Conservatives with 144.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak conceded defeat and congratulated Starmer on his victory.

Voters need a valid photo ID to vote – passports and driving licences are among the accepted forms of ID.

Polling stations close at 10pm, with an exit poll shortly after to give an early indication of the results.

Recall that last weekend, Sunak slammed an anti-immigration Reform UK party campaigner for using racist slurs against him as the general election campaign entered its final week.

Campaigners were filmed making racist, homophobic and offensive comments in Clacton-on-Sea in eastern England, where the leader of Reform UK, Nigel Farage, is hoping to be elected as a Member of Parliament on Thursday.
