The UK general election is entering its final phase, with voters heading to polling stations across the country on Thursday after a three-week postal voting period. Polls indicate a potential shift in power, with Keir Starmer’s Labour Party poised to unseat Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives, potentially leading to a new prime minister taking office as soon as Friday.
Throughout a campaign marked by minimal swings, Labour has maintained a steady lead over the Conservatives, despite the disruptive emergence of the hard-right Reform party. As the final days of campaigning unfold, both Starmer and Sunak are making their last major efforts to sway undecided voters.
Key issues such as the economy, healthcare, and national security are at the forefront of the candidates’ appeals. With the election hanging in the balance, the outcome could signal significant changes in the UK’s political and economic landscape.
