British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will resign as the leader of the Conservative Party on Friday morning after his devastating election result, in which he lost by a landslide to the left-wing Labour Party.
While Sunak won his seat of Richamond and Northallerton and will return as a MP, he will tender his resignation after a humiliating defeat in which his party lost over 200 seats.
“The Labour Party has won this general election and I have called Keir Starmer to congratulate him,” said in his concession speech. “The British people have delivered a sobering verdict tonight, there is much to learn… and I take responsibility for the loss.
