UK General Election Set For July 4

United Kingdom will hold a general election on July 4, according to British media reports.

Gatekeepers News reports that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak met with top ministers on Wednesday and is expected to make an official announcement shortly.

This election will be the first time Sunak faces the public while in charge, and it comes as he seeks to capitalize on improving economic data to win over voters affected by cost-of-living increases.

The election will be the third since the Brexit referendum in 2016 and takes place amid a challenging economic landscape.

Despite recent improvements, Sunak’s Conservative Party trails the opposition Labour Party in the polls.

Labour leader Keir Starmer has outlined six key pledges, including economic stability, shorter health service waiting times, and a new border security command.

The election will be a key test for Sunak and the Conservative Party, who have been in power for 14 years. The economy and immigration are expected to be major battlegrounds in the campaign.
