UK labor party sweeps to power in historic election win

Addis Ababa, July 5, 2024 (FBC) -Britain’s Labour Party swept to power Friday after more than a decade in opposition.

Labour leader Keir Starmer will officially become prime minister later in the day, leading his party back to government less than five years after it suffered its worst defeat in almost a century.

Speaking as dawn broke in London, he said Labour would offer “the sunlight of hope, pale at first but getting stronger through the day.”
