Rishi Sunak accepts Defeat and Steps down as Conservative Party Leader
Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak acknowledged defeat, announcing his resignation as leader of the Conservative Party.
In a sombre speech, he conveyed his apologies to the nation and recognized the electorate’s unmistakable demand for transformation.
“I will shortly be seeing His Majesty the King to offer my resignation as prime minister to the country. I would like to say first and foremost, I am sorry,” Sunak said.
“I have given this job my all but you have sent a clear signal that the government of the United Kingdom must change and yours is the only judgment that matters. I have heard your anger, your disappointment. And I take responsibility for this loss.”
In his speech, Sunak also extended his praise to Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, who is set to become the new prime minister.
“Whilst he has been my political opponent, Keir Starmer will shortly become our prime minister. In this job, his successes will be all our successes, and I wish him and his family well. Whatever our disagreements in this campaign, he is a decent, public-spirited man who I respect,” Sunak remarked.
