UK general election results 2024: Exit polls suggest victory for Starmer' Labour Party

Meanwhile, BBC's exit polls are suggesting a landslide victory for the Labour Party, which means that leftist lawyer-turned centrist Keir Starmer may take over the office of the Prime Minister once the results are in. However, nothing can be said for sure until the last vote is counted and the final results are announced. However, exit polls suggest that a majority of vote share will land with the Labour Party, putting an end to the Conservative Party's fourteen years of rule, with different Prime Ministers in office.

When will a Party be able to claim majority?

326 seats are needed for an overall majority for any party to claim power in the UK Parliament. BBC's exit polls suggest that out of the 650 constituencies hanging in the bargain will see 410 going to the Labour Party, with the Conservatives gaining a mere 131. Interestingly, Nigel Farage's Reform UK party can secure 13 seats in these elections, while the Lib Dem and the SNP receiving 61 and 10 seats respectively, as per the predictions of BBC's exit polls. If the results of these exit polls turn out to be somewhat accurate, Rishi Sunak can come under fire from his own party for the dismal performance of the Conservatives, something, they could not have expected only six months ago.
