The defeat of the ruling Conservative Party in the British local elections is seen as a huge threat to Indian-origin Prime Minister Rishi Sonak. Political analysts say that Rishi Sonak’s chair is shaking.
The Conservative Party has suffered an extraordinary setback in Friday’s election. As a result, the Labor Party is likely to return to power following 14 years. The general election in the UK will be held in a few months.
The opposition Labor Party and other parties won more seats than the ruling party. The Labor Party also won councils in England where it had not won for decades.
This situation is very disturbing for Prime Minister Rishi Sonak. The Labor Party also won a parliamentary seat in a special election, strengthening its position for the general election.
