“Today, power will change hands in a peaceful and orderly manner with goodwill on all sides,” stated Sunak, as his Conservative party faced a historic defeat to Labour.
This result concludes 14 years of Conservative governance, during which five prime ministers led the country.
Sunak, who became prime minister on October 25, 2022, made history as the youngest British Asian and the first Hindu in the role. At 42 years old, he is the youngest British Prime Minister since Robert Jenkinson.
