The British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has called for a national election in the country on July 4. Speculation is over when Rishi Sunak will announce when the elections will be held in Britain. Now is the time for Britain to choose its future, decide whether to continue the progress we have made or risk going backwards, Sunak said.
Political experts believe that Sunak, who will face the election under his leadership, is not only behind the Labor Party, but is also fighting to regain control of his own Conservative Party. Sunak was sworn in as the fifth Prime Minister in eight years in October 2022, following the resignation of Liz Truss after just 44 days in office.
In the next few weeks, I will fight for every vote, I will earn your trust and I will promise that a Conservative government led by me will not jeopardize our well-deserved financial stability,” assured Rishi. Rishi had until December to decide on the election, which could be as late as January 28, 2025, but Rishi Sunak has already set the election date.

Here are the top contenders, big issues and polls so far
The date of the national elections is set for July 4. The Associated Press reports that the timing of the election is based on the prime minister’s calculations of a date more favorable to the ruling Conservatives (it the party also known as the Tories).
People throughout the United Kingdom (UK) elect all 650 members of the House of Commons for a five-year term. Only the party with a majority in the House of Commons or in a coalition forms the government and its leader becomes Prime Minister.
Other major parties
The main competitors in this election are the Conservative Party and the Labor Party. The Scottish National Party, the Liberal Democrats and the Democratic Unionist Party are the largest parties in Parliament, after the Conservatives and Labour.
Sunak, who becomes prime minister in October 2022, is expected to lead the Conservative Party into the election. He will face competition from Labor’s Keir Stormer. The Conservatives have been in power for 14 years. But it is lagging behind Labor in the opinion polls.
Sunak in his statement accused Steamer of always taking the easy way out and having no plan. As a result, the future is only with them uncertain.
The important issues of the election
Responding to the Prime Minister, Steimer said, “You (voters) have a choice on July 4 and together we can stop the chaos and we can start rebuilding Britain and changing our country.”
The main issues in this election are the state of the country’s economy, immigration issues, health care, the environment and climate change.

Accusations and counter-accusations between the Conservative and Labor parties
Both the Conservative Party and Labor have already clearly stated their positions on economic and defense issues. The Sunak government claims that the Labor Party will raise taxes and worsen the country’s situation.
Sunak’s government says the Labor Party has no concrete plan to ensure Britain’s security in an unstable global environment.
Labor accused the Conservatives of ’14 years of economic mismanagement, which left citizens worse off and failed to provide the stability needed for business growth. The Labor Party welcomed the election announcement.
