Britain's center-left Labour Party was set to comfortably win a historic general election, an exit poll showed, ousting the Conservative Party by a huge margin in a vote that means the staunch U.S. ally will get its sixth prime minister in eight politically turbulent years.

The exit poll projected that Labour will win 410 seats to the Conservatives' 131 in Britain's 650-seat Parliament, a majority of 170. The exit poll was carried out by polling company Ipsos, jointly for British broadcasters BBC News, ITV News and Sky News.

If the exit poll is accurate, Labour's leader Keir Starmer, 61, a former lawyer, will take over as prime minister from Rishi Sunak, who ascended to the role in 2022.
