In the recently held United Kingdom General Elections, Labour Party defeated Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party in a landslide victory, following which British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak conceded defeat.

The UK's Labour Party crossed the 326-seat threshold, required for working majority in the House of Commons. Keir Starmer will be Britain's next prime minister.

Accepting the defeat, British PM Rishi Sunak said, as quoted by news agency ANI, "“The Labour Party has won this general election and I have called Keir Starmer to congratulate him on his victory. Today, power will change hands in a peaceful and orderly manner, with goodwill on all sides...I take responsibility for the loss to the many good, hard-working, conservative candidates who lost tonight despite their tireless efforts, their local records of delivery and their dedication to their communities, I am sorry. I will now head down to London, where I will say more about tonight's result before I leave the job of Prime Minister, to which I have given my all.”

Following the defeat of Rishi Sunak, netizens took to social media and expressed their reactions.

Notably, Sunak is the son-in-law of Sudha Murty and Narayana Murthy.

Narayana Murthy, Infosys founder, had said in 2023 in a conversation with CFO Mohandas Pai, “If we want to compete with the fastest growing countries like China and Japan, we need to boost up our work productivity. At the moment, India’s work productivity is very low. The government also must reduce the time it takes for decision-making and curb corruption in bureaucracy,” adding, “Our youngsters need to work for at least 70 hours a week.”
