Labour Party was projected to secure 410 seats in the 650-seat parliament according to BBC, ITV and Sky News and the count reached the exact number making ‘Baar 400 Paar’ a reality not in India but in the UK as Keir Starmer’s Labour Party won a landslide victory making him the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On the contrary, Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives are forecasted to win only 131 seats, dwindling so much down from the previous 346.
This is regarded as the lowest number of seats the Conservatives have had in almost 200 years, departing the party in bedlam. BBC also predicted Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party could secure 13 seats in these elections, while the Lib Dem and the SNP with 61 and 10 seats in this row.
