British PM Boris Jhonson wins General Elections in UK

In Britain, the ruling Conservative party led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson is all set to win overall majority in the snap elections held yesterday.

According to the exit poll, Tories will get 368 out of 650 seats in the lower House of Commons. Labour will get 191, the Liberal Democrats 13 and the Brexit Party none.

The final results are expected to be known by this evening.

This is likely to pave the way for Britain to leave the EU next month.

Johnson had campaigned on a promise to get Brexit done vowing to end years of political turmoil over Britain's future that has weighed on the economy and divided the nation. (AIR)
