Sunak said that he has received the King's blessing for the dissolution of the parliament and the elections will be held on July 4.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has confirmed that the country will go to early elections in July. Sunak said that he has received the King's blessing for the dissolution of the parliament and the elections will be held on July 4.
In a statement to the media from Downing St, Sunak said that this election will take place at a difficult time for Britain and for the world.
"Now is the moment for Britain to choose its future and decide whether we want to build on the progress we have made or risk going back to square one. Without a plan and without security ," said Sunak.
He then listed some of his government's achievements as he also attacked the opposition's candidate for prime minister, Keir Starmer, who he said would do anything to come to power.
" I came to office above all to restore economic stability. Economic stability is the foundation of any future success. Whether it's raising wages and good jobs, investing in our public services, or protecting the country. And because of our collective sacrifice and your hard work, we have achieved two major milestones in providing that stability, showing that when we work together anything is possible...
We have cut taxes on investment and used the opportunities of Brexit to make this the best place in the world to develop a business, we have put record amounts of funding into the health service. I can't say the same for the Labor Party because I don't know what they offer. And I really don't think you know either.
And that's because they don't have a plan. There is no brave action. And as a result the future can only be uncertain with them. On July 5, either Keir Starmer or I will be prime minister. He has shown time and time again that he will take the easy way out and do anything to get power.
If he was happy to abandon all the promises he made to become a leader after taking office, how do you know he wouldn't do exactly the same if he became prime minister? ", Sunak said.
How the elections will be organized:
Friday, May 24 – Parliament adjourns.
Thursday, May 30 – Parliament is dissolved.
Thursday 4th July - General Election.
Tuesday, July 9 – The new Assembly convenes for the election of the president and the swearing in of deputies.
Wednesday July 17 – State opening of parliament, with the king's speech.
Sunak was due to hold a pair of elections until January 2025 and had long resisted calls for early elections. But a drop in inflation rates, announced on Wednesday, appears to have forced him to announce the decision, which is expected to take place outside Downing Street.
The decision will 'fire the gun' on a six-week campaign that is expected to end with the fall of Sunak's conservative government.
Sunak will be hoping a shrewd campaign can result in a spectacular upset for Labor and extend a period of Conservative rule that began in 2010 and has overseen austerity, Brexit, the Covid-19 pandemic and the cost of living crisis.
He is the fifth Tory leader to serve in that time, including Liz Truss, whose disastrous tenure collapsed just six weeks after it began and worsened the financial problems that crippled the UK.
Sunak's party is likely to put his efforts to tackle illegal migration at the center of his campaign; a last-ditch move to deport some asylum seekers to Rwanda and the first flights could take off during the campaign.
But Labor will try to highlight the government's efforts to ease rising prices, the state of Britain's overstretched health care service and the sordid scandals that have tarnished the Tories' reputation among large swathes of British voters.
Voting will take place on Thursday 4 July in all 650 UK parliamentary constituencies and counting will take place overnight, with the two main parties seeking to pass the 326 required for a majority./ Pamphlet
