00:03general elections in Nigeria, Peter Obi has sent a congratulatory message to the Labour
00:07Party candidate, Keir Starmer, who will become the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
00:11after the UK Labour Party won a majority seat at the Parliamentary House of Commons on Thursday
00:15in the 2024 UK General Elections.
00:17Peter Obi, in a statement via his ex-social media handle on Friday, said that he hoped

00:26United Kingdom.
00:27Adding that, Keir Starmer should work together with Nigeria and other Commonwealth nations
00:31to build a brighter future Commonwealth for all.
00:33I sincerely congratulate Keir Starmer and the Labour Party UK on the landslide victory
00:37they recorded in Thursday's election.
00:39May the victory translate to a better and new chapter for all the UK residents as you
00:43remain committed to your electoral promises.
00:45I also hope that your government will promote stronger ties between the UK and Nigeria,
00:49and help in deepening our own democracy, especially during the challenging times that our nation
00:53is going through.
00:55Nigeria is grappling with issues such as insecurity, education, healthcare, and poverty, and could
01:00greatly benefit from the support of the UK.
01:03Let us work together to build a brighter future Commonwealth for all.

01:10We had earlier reported that the Labour Party candidate in the 2024 General Elections, Keir

01:25Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
01:27Labour won the election with 410 seats, with the Conservatives of Rishi Sunak securing
01:31144 seats.
01:33Rishi Sunak in a broadcast accepted the feat, and says he has called Starmer to congratulate
01:37him even before the election results and winner were officially declared and announced.
01:42Shortly after winning his seat in Holborn and St Pancras, Starmer says,
01:45The change begins right here.

02:15Caledonia wins for the Green Party in Bristol Central, while the SNP is forecast to go from
02:1943 seats before the election to just 6, BBC added in its report.
02:23Ahead of the exit poll, Rishi Sunak stated and in quote,
02:26The only way to stop a high-tax-level super-majority is to vote Conservative today.
02:30A vote for Reform or any other party will hand Keir Starmer a blank cheque for generations.
02:35Polls close at 10pm.
02:37Don't forget to bring your ID.
02:39You have 4 hours to stop a Labour super-majority that will put up taxes for the rest of your
02:42life.

03:42Thank you, Hogan and St Pancras, for putting your trust in me again.
03:46Change begins right here.
03:48I've changed the Labour Party.
03:49If you put your trust in me by voting Labour, I will change the country.
03:53Today, Britain's future is on the ballot.
03:55Tomorrow, don't just send a message.

03:59Vote Labour.
04:00Keir Starmer wants an end quote.
04:01BBC reported that after Keir Starmer won the exit poll, the Labour Party elected Lomeka
04:06who is due to be the next Prime Minister of UK.

04:12The report reads in quote thus, still addressing supporters in central London, Keir Starmer
04:16tells them, thank you truly, you have changed our country.
04:19After reaching the required 326 seats to win the general election, he says, a mandate like
04:25this comes with a great responsibility.
04:27He adds that the task of a Labour government is nothing less than renewing the ideas that
04:31hold our country together.
04:32We have to return politics to public service.
04:35He goes on, adding his government will show it can be a force for good.
04:39BBC report reads further that, one feature of tonight's results is how the advances that
04:44the Conservatives secured in deep voting areas after the EU referendum, most notably in 2019,
04:48have been entirely lost.
04:50Combined with 2019, support for the Conservatives is down by 12 points in seats where less than
04:5545% voted leave.
04:57In contrast, support for the party is down by 27 points in seats where more than 65%
05:02voted leave.
05:03However, the pattern of losses in Conservative support since 2015 before the EU referendum
05:08is more or less the same everywhere.
05:10Support for the party is down by 12 points.
05:12Compared with 2015, in seats where less than 45% voted leave, while it is down by 9 points
