UK General Election 2024
UK to Hold First National Election in Almost Five Years
Election to Take Place on Thursday, July 4th, 2024
The United Kingdom will hold its first national election in almost five years on Thursday, July 4th, 2024. The election will determine the composition of the House of Commons, which is the lower house of the UK Parliament. The election will be held using the first-past-the-post system, in which the candidate with the most votes in each constituency is elected.
The election is expected to be closely contested, with the ruling Conservative Party, led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, facing a challenge from the Labour Party, led by Keir Starmer. Other parties expected to do well in the election include the Liberal Democrats, the Scottish National Party, and the Green Party.
The election is taking place at a time of great political and economic uncertainty in the UK. The country is still grappling with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and is facing a cost of living crisis. The election is likely to be a referendum on the government's handling of these issues.
