UK Poll Results Highlights | British PM Starmer appoints key members of new Labour cabinet

Hello readers! Keir Starmer's Labour Party cruised to victory in the UK elections on Friday. With exit polls already predicting a landslide win, Rishi Sunak and his Conservative Party conceded defeat halfway through the counting process. Sunak will continue as MP, having won his seat, but took full responsibility for the defeat. Former PM Liz Truss has lost her bastion — South West Norfolk constituency in eastern England to the Labour candidate. After Starmer met King Charles, he was officially declared UK's new PM. Starmer wasted no time selecting key members of his cabinet with Angela Rayner as the new Labour government's deputy PM. All ministers will have to be approved by the king before they can be appointed. Thank you for following the latest updates from the UK elections, right here with DH.
