Addressing the nation outside the prime minister’s official residence at 10 Downing Street, Sunick expressed his “regret” for the Tory defeat and said he had “heard” the “anger and frustration” of voters and “took responsibility”.
Sunak then went to Buckingham Palace to present his resignation letter to King Charles III.
As reported, in the British parliamentary elections held on Thursday, the Labor Party, which had been in the opposition until now, won a decisive victory and won an absolute majority in the House of Commons.
Labor won at least 412 of the 650 seats, ending 14 years of Conservative rule, according to the official vote count.
Meanwhile, the Conservatives managed to retain only 121 seats, losing 250 seats, according to the results obtained after the votes were counted in almost all constituencies.
It is the heaviest defeat the Tories have suffered in the entire history of the party.
