A General Election will be held on July 4, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced on Tuesday.
The last general election was held on Thursday, December 12, 2019, when Boris Johnson was the Prime Minister.
A July election is earlier than many in Westminster had expected, with a contest in October or November widely thought to have been more likely.
The 2019 General Election saw the Conservatives claim victory, winning 365 seats (48 seats more than in 2017) and 43.6 per cent of the vote.
The Labour Party won only 202 seats (32.1% of the vote), while the Liberal Democrats took 11.
