The Leader of the Labour Party, Keir Starmer, will be Britain's next prime minister, according to the exit poll results released minutes after the voting closed.

The Labour Party is poised to gain a huge majority after Thursday's general election in the country, while Rishi Sunak's Conservatives are suffering historic losses.

According to the exit poll, the Labour Party will win 410 seats in the 650-seat House of Commons (the elected lower house of the British parliament) and will have a majority with 170 MPs, which will put an end to the 14-year rule of the Conservatives.

The Conservative Party of Sunak is predicted to take only 131 seats with 346 MPs before the dissolution of parliament, which will become the weakest performance in the party's history.

On Thursday, British voters at the Central Hall Westminster polling station shared their political preferences with BTA:

"I voted Labour because I think the Conservative government stayed in power too long. Change needs to happen."

"Keir Starmer needs to get us back into the EU, bloody quick. I'm 77 years old and I know it well enough."

"I think people are voting more than usual this time and I figure Labour will win. Most are not happy with the Conservatives and Brexit."

"This is not my government. I never voted for it. Our government has stolen from us all the way. It sold all our assets. If we hold on to them any longer, we'll be ruined. Kick the Tories out. And I voted for our left."

"We need change."

As a sign of the changing public mood and anger at the system, some smaller parties performed well, including the Liberal Democrats and Nigel Farage's Reform UK party. The Liberal Democrats, according to the exit poll, will have 61 representatives in the House of Commons. Farage's party, which relies heavily on an anti-immigration agenda, is expected to have 13 MPs. Meanwhile, the Scottish National Party is forecast to register its weakest showing since 2010 and will have just 10 representatives in the House of Commons.
