UK Labor Party chief Keir Starmer emerged victorious from his London headquarters as he moves closer to replacing Rishi Sunak as prime minister.
Starmer promised to serve all people in the constituency after beating Holborn and St Pancras in the morning results with 18,884 votes.
Exit polls projected a Labor victory after Thursday’s election, defeating the Sunak-led Conservatives. However, such projections often go wrong.
In his first remarks after the morning victory, Starmer thanked his voters and said it was a “huge privilege to be re-elected from Holborn and St Pancras”.
“You voted. Now it’s time to deliver,” he was quoted as saying, according to the BBC.
The heart of UK democracy beats not in Westminster or Whitehall, but in city councils, community centers and in the hands of people who have the right to vote, he said.
“Change starts in this community with people coming together to make life better,” the Labor leader added.
He said he will work for everyone in his constituency, regardless of who voted for him. “I will speak for you, protect you, fight for you every day,” he said.
People are ready for change and change starts right here because this is your democracy, your community, your future, he told his voters.
The votes counted for yesterday’s election put the Labor Party with 133 seats, against 19 for the Conservatives, data showed at 8:15 am.
