The UK heads to the polls on July 4 for its first national election in five years. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party faces likely defeat after 14 years in power, marked by economic woes and scandals. Labour, led by Sir Keir Starmer, leads in opinion polls, promising change and improved public services. Other contenders include the Liberal Democrats, Reform UK, and the Scottish National Party. Voters will elect 650 MPs to the House of Commons, with the party winning the most seats forming the new government. The election is set to reshape the UK's political landscape.
