December 14, 2019, marked a significant day in the United Kingdom's history as Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservative Party secured a resounding majority in the country's parliament.
The unexpected win surprised many who had predicted that the party's Brexit-focused campaign would fail to yield significant results.
According to CNN, the Conservatives had secured 364 of the 650 seats in the House of Parliament by early Friday morning, leaving Labour with 203 seats.
With this level of control in the legislative house, the UK is poised to exit the European Union by the end of January 2020.
Speaking after the victory, Johnson expressed gratitude to the UK citizens who had put their trust in his party by giving them a comfortable majority in parliament.
"I, and we, will never take your support for granted," he said to the electorate.
As the country prepares to exit the EU, the implications of this win will be far-reaching, and the Nyakundi Report will continue to provide updates on this developing story.
