“I am sorry. I take responsibility for the loss,” he said.
An apologetic Rishi Sunak conceded defeat in the UK general election on Friday after the Labour Party breached the majority mark, winning 326 out of the total 650 seats.
“The Labour Party has won this general election, and I’ve called Sir Keir Starmer to congratulate him on his victory. Today, power will change hands in a peaceful and orderly manner, with goodwill on all sides. That is something that should give us all confidence in our country’s stability and future,” Rishi Sunak said while addressing his supporters in Richmond and Northern Allerton.
“I am sorry. I take responsibility for the loss,” he added.
