Rishi Sunak calls general election for July
World
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced a general election for 4 July. He said he had asked King Charles III to dissolve parliament, which was granted, BBC News reported.
In a speech outside his Downing Street residence, Sunak emphasized his government's achievements, including dealing with the aftermath of the pandemic and responding to the war in Ukraine, while highlighting economic stability and growth.
Sunak pledged to fight for every vote while criticizing Labour. Labour leader Keir Starmer said the election was a chance to change the country and rebuild Britain.
Political observers believe Sunak is seeking to capitalize on the country's economic situation in the upcoming election, but critics point out that the favourable outlook has more to do with changes in the global economy than with British government policy.
