U.K.: PM Rishi Sunak announces general elections on 4 July

The national election will see voters across the United Kingdom elect 650 members to the House of Commons.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a surprise general election in the United Kingdom on July 4 in an address outside Downing Street. Sunak spoke about the British economy and his own government's ability to rule.

The news came on the same day as official numbers revealed inflation in the UK had fallen substantially to 2.3%, its lowest level in nearly three years, owing to significant falls in home costs.

These uncertain times call for a clear plan and bold action to chart a course to a secure future.

You must choose in this election who has that plan and who is prepared to take that bold action to secure a better future for our country and our children. pic.twitter.com/qlbgmYuGkM

Sunak highlighted this in his address, noting that "economic stability is the bedrock of any success". He recognised that "things are not easy" for the British people, but stressed that his administration had a clear plan in place.

The national election will see voters across the United Kingdom elect 650 members to the House of Commons. The party with the most seats in the Commons will form the next government, with its leader as prime minister. The next government's term will be up to five years.
