The future of Rishi Sunak as Britain’s Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative Party hangs in the balance as the UK goes to the polls on Thursday.
Around 46.5 million Britons are eligible to vote in the election. The electorate votes for members of Parliament across 650 constituencies — with 326 required for a majority in the first past the post system.
Sunak (44) is up against voter angst against the incumbent Tories after 14 years in power and has had to contend with trailing far behind 61-year-old Keir Starmer-led Labour Party throughout the six-week campaign.
