British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced his intention to resign after the defeat of the Conservative Party in the parliamentary elections.

"I will soon meet with His Majesty the King and offer him to resign from the position of Prime Minister of the country. I want to say that I am very sorry for the country. I gave it my all, but you have sent a clear signal that the British government needs to change. And your judgment is the only thing that matters. I have heard your anger and disappointment, and I take full responsibility for this loss," Sunak said a day after the country's elections.

The British Prime Minister also apologized to Conservative Party candidates and staff for the ineffectiveness of their efforts.

Summing up his case, Sunak noted that Great Britain is stronger.

"I believe our country is safer and stronger than it was 20 months ago. It is more prosperous, fair and stable than in 2010," he said.

The British prime minister also wished success to his opponent, Key Starmer, who won the election together with the Labor Party.

We remind you that on Thursday, July 4, elections to the House of Commons of Great Britain were held. In it, the Labor Party ended the 14-year rule of the Conservative Party, which received 33.8 percent to 23.7 percent of the vote. According to the results of the elections, the Labor Party won 412 seats in the 650-seat British Parliament.
