Political analysts and polls suggest a historic election, with the main opposition party, Labour, on course to challenge the Conservatives.
LONDON: The UK is going to the general election tomorrow, with voters heading to the polls to decide the fate of 650 parliamentary seats in the highly anticipated UK General Election 2024.
According to British news agencies, a tight contest is expected between the ruling Conservative Party and the opposition Labour Party, both vying for control after 14 years of Conservative rule. Furthermore, the Reform UK party could potentially surprise many by influencing the final vote tally.
More than 50 million voters will take part in the 2024 UK general election, exercising their right to vote at more than 40,000 polling stations across the country. The voting process will start at 7 am and will continue uninterrupted till 10 pm.
In this general election, more than four and a half thousand candidates will contest for the seats of Parliament. However, opinion polls do not indicate favorable results for the ruling party. It is suggested that the Reform UK Party could take votes away from the Conservatives, thus benefiting the Labour Party.
The results of the 2024 UK general election will determine whether the Conservatives get another five-year term or whether the opposition Labour Party takes the reins. The decisive moment will come tomorrow when the nation casts its vote.
