British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak Peeved With The Results Of His First Electoral Battle
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Friday admitted it was a “disappointing” run for the governing Conservative Party, with the Opposition Labour and Liberal Democrat parties making significant gains in the local elections.
As per PTI report, Voters went to the polls on Thursday to elect local representatives in 230 of England’s 317 councils in what marked Sunak’s first electoral test at the ballot box since the British Indian leader took charge at 10 Downing Street in October 2022.
Even as the results continue to be counted, Labour gained control of some of its top target councils including Medway in south-east England which has been under Tory control for 20 years.
