India TV News  

London: Less than 24 hours remain as the United Kingdom is heading for a high-stakes election scheduled for Thursday, as pollsters have predicted that Labour will win the polls by a landslide margin to end 14 years of Conservative rule. The final days of the campaigning are marked by relentless efforts by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his chief rival Keir Starmer, who is expected to become the next premier. The Labour Party is on course to win the upcoming elections with a large majority, ending 14 years of Conservative rule, with a margin of 20 points in the opinion polls. Results from the UK general elections 2024 will start trickling in from 10 pm onwards, with most of the constituency results expected by the early hours of Friday. All eyes would be on the Richmond and Northallerton seat, where Sunak is contested amid predictions that he will lose his seat to Labour's Tom Wilson, among other candidates like Reform UK's Lee Taylor and Kevin Foster from the Green Party.
