In a significant blow to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party, Labour won mayoral elections in London and the West Midlands region. Sadiq Khan was re-elected as London mayor, while Labour's Richard Parker narrowly defeated Conservative incumbent Andy Street in the West Midlands. The wins follow Labour's success in local elections and could lead to calls for Sunak to step down. With national elections expected later this year, Labour is poised to win and end 14 years of Conservative rule. Labour leader Keir Starmer is likely to become the next Prime Minister.
