Boris Johnson Wins Majority In UK General Election, Hails Powerful Mandate

ABP News  

New Delhi: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has won a clear majority in UK general election deemed as one of the country's most crucial and decisive elections, as his Conservative Party crossed UK crossed the 326-mark required for a majority in Parliament, media reports said on Friday. Exit polls, revealed on Friday, that the UK's Conservatives have taken a string of former Labour strongholds, with the ruling party forecast to win the general election with a comfortable majority, exit polls revealed on Friday. Prime Minister Boris Johnson's gamble to push for an early vote as a way to end the parliamentary deadlock on Brexit looks to have paid off, with the number of Conservative seats in Parliament growing from 330 in 2017 to 368, according to the exit polling carried out by Ipsos-Mori on behalf of the BBC, ITV and Sky television. Johnson inherited a minority government from predecessor Theresa May, who lost her majority in a miscalculated decision to call a snap election in 2017 in a bid for a mandate to proceed with Brexit.
