It has been a dismal night for the once-dominant Conservative Party as a number of high-ranking Tory figures have lost their seats.
People were slow-clapping as they awaited the results, with former prime minister Liz Truss losing her seat.
Former Tory leader Ms. Truss was defeated by Labour’s Terry Jermy by a mere 630 votes.
Probably the most well-known Tory backbencher to lose his seat was Rees Mogg.
In Hanham and North East Somerset, where he has served since 2010, Labour defeated him.
As Mr. Sunak assumed office, the Eton-educated Brexit ardent resigned from office.
In addition to serving as the leader of the House of Commons and Brexit minister under Mr. Johnson, who knighted him in his resignation honors list, was Truss.
After serving as the MP for Welwyn Hatfield, Hertfordshire, for 19 years, Defense Secretary Grant Shapps was voted out of office.
He was defeated by Labour by a margin of 3,799 votes, so the Tories will have to bid farewell to not only a seasoned cabinet minister but also to a person regarded as one of their best communicators.
Because of this strength, he has been placed in control of several government ministries over the years, including the Home Office (although temporarily), energy, business, and transportation.
