Rishi Sunak Drops Biggest Hint That General Election Will Be Held Next October

Rishi Sunak, the UK Prime Minister, has hinted that a General Election could take place next October, as he expressed his desire for another year in office to complete the work at hand. In a video shared on his social media accounts to mark his one-year anniversary in office, Sunak emphasized that there is still work to be done. Downing Street also released an image of Sunak working at his desk, accompanied by a slice of cake and a £25 half-pint mug designed by Emma Bridgewater, featuring five red Labradors.

Reflecting on the Last 12 Months

In the 46-second video, which was published on the Downing Street YouTube channel, Sunak briefly outlined his policy priorities over the past year. The video concludes by asking viewers what a country can achieve in 52 weeks, hinting at the possibility of further progress in the future.

When asked about the possibility of an election next year, Downing Street stated that no date has been confirmed. However, Sunak's press secretary did not rule out the possibility of a snap election this year, stating that nothing is off the table when it comes to calling elections.

Speculation Mounts

A general election is scheduled to take place before January 2025, but speculation is growing as to when Sunak will decide to go to the country, particularly due to the Labour Party's double-digit lead in recent polls. Public opinion indicates a desire for an election sooner rather than later, with Labour widely considered as the frontrunners to form the next government.
