Prime Minister Johnson's ruling Conservative Party is expected to win the early general election, paving the way for Britain to leave the EU next month.

A poll released by British television stations on December 12 showed that Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservative party is expected to win 368/650 seats in the House of Representatives, an increase of 50 seats compared to the 2017 election. The opposition party under Jeremy Corbyn is expected to win 191 seats.

The Liberal Democratic Party against Brexit is expected to win 13 seats, while the Scottish National Party (SNP) will hold 55 seats and the Green party one seat. Brexit Party is not expected to win any seats.

Johnson stated that if the Conservatives won a majority of seats in the House of Representatives, he would push parliament through a Brexit agreement signed with the European Union (EU) to meet the deadline on January 31. Johnson campaigned with a commitment to "complete Brexit," ending years of political turmoil that weighed on the economy and divided the country.

The vote counting is ongoing and the final results will be announced on the morning of December 13. Johnson's victory was considered a "death knell" for those who hoped Britain could reverse Brexit through a second referendum.

The general election is an opportunity for British people to elect a representative to a local election unit in the House of Representatives for a maximum of 5 years. Elections are held every five years by the British Parliament, but early elections can take place under certain circumstances.

This year's early elections were held when the UK was at a standstill, not passing Brexit Law to leave the EU. France in October wanted the EU to quickly resolve Brexit to focus on the issues it needs to do.
