LONDON, July 4 (Xinhua) -- The Labour Party of the United Kingdom is on track to achieve a landslide win in the general election, according to an exit poll published after voting ended on Thursday night.
The exit poll showed Labour, headed by Keir Starmer, would win 410 seats, enough for a comfortable outright majority in the 650-seat parliament. Rishi Sunak's Conservatives, which have ruled for 14 years, are forecast to win 131 seats, Liberal Democrats 61 seats, and Reform UK 13 seats.
The exit poll, commissioned by three broadcasters - the BBC, ITV and Sky - has a good track record of accurately forecasting the outcome of the last four elections held in 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2019.
Official results will be declared in the early hours of Friday. ■
