The Prime Minister of Great Britain, Rishi Sunak, has announced that the parliamentary elections will be held on July 4th. According to Reuters, Sunak has set a deadline in the coming months to decide whether or not to hold new elections, depending on the progress of the pandemic situation.

After 14 years in power, it is expected that the Conservative Labour Party will be replaced in the upcoming elections. Sunak’s decision to hold elections sooner than expected suggests that they hold more significance than originally anticipated. However, this move is considered risky as Sunak’s approval rating for support of the Labour Party is low.

“It is time for Britain to choose its path,” Sunak declared, referring to the important decisions made during his administration. He highlighted the importance of a “campaign of unity” that helped the government overcome the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Experts believe that Sunak’s campaign has gained an advantage over the Labour Party, not only in the elections but also in engaging party leaders productively. It is worth noting that both parties have begun implementing their election programs, with clear divisions already drawn in terms of the economy and security.

Sunak criticized the Labour Party’s management, stating that during their previous term, governance deteriorated and the situation for the people worsened, leading to a lack of trust in their administration.

If the Labour Party wins the elections, it will be the first time in over 180 years that power in Great Britain switches every eight years.
