Labor Party Wins UK’s General Elections

The UK’s Labor Party swept to power early on Friday after winning the country’s general election, crossing the 326-seat threshold for a working majority in the House of Commons.

“A mandate like this comes with a great responsibility,” Labour leader Keir Starmer told supporters at a triumphant dawn rally in London, moments after the results that sealed its landslide win were announced.

As the final figures come in, Labour is expected to win 410 seats, with the Conservatives on 144.

Also, Rishi Sunak has accepted defeat, and said he called Starmer to congratulate him.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister-elect, Keir Starmer, has pledged to start a period of “national renewal” in the UK after his opposition Labour Party defeated the ruling Conservatives in the general election.

Israel Negotiators Ready for Talks with Hamas For Hostage Release Deals

A government official reveals that Israeli Prime Minister,BENJAMIN NETANYAHU has given approval for a team of negotiators to be sent to discuss a hostage release deal with Hamas.

 

The development comes a day after Hamas responded to a Gaza ceasefire plan outlined by the U.S President JOE BIDEN at the end of May.

 

The last indirect talks took place in Cairo in early May and efforts to get them back on track since then have made little progress, with the United State putting the blame on Hamas.

 

The details of Hamas’s response have not been made public, but a Palestinian official familiar with the negotiations told newsmen that Hamas was no longer demanding a full ceasefire at the outset of the plan presented by Mr.BIDEN.

Edo State PDP Insists Asue Ighodalo is Its Flagbearer

The Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday reacted to the nullification of the party’s governorship election, insisting that ASUE IGHODALO is its flagbearer.

Justice INYANG EKWO of the Federal High Court in Abuja voided the February 2024 election that produced IGHODALO on the ground that 378 delegates who were supposed to vote at the primary election were unlawfully excluded by PDP.

But the party insisted that the Lagos-based lawyer remains its flagbearer ahead of the 21stSeptember governorship election in Edo State.

The party blamed what it described as certain elements that were spreading rumours about its candidate, claiming they were scared of IGHODALO’s popularity.
