Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has congratulated the United Kingdom Labour Party and their leader, Keir Starmer, for recording a historic victory in Thursday’s election.
Reacting to the victory on his X handle on Friday, the LP leader said he hopes that the incoming Prime Minister will follow his campaign promises that made UK voters look his way.
“I sincerely congratulate Mr. Keir Starmer, and the Labour Party UK on the landslide victory they recorded in Thursday’s election,” Obi said.

“May the victory translate to a better and new chapter for all the UK residents as you remain committed to your electoral promises.
“I also hope that your government will promote stronger ties between the UK and Nigeria, and help in deepening our democracy, especially during these challenging times. Nigeria is grappling with issues such as insecurity, education, healthcare, and poverty, and could greatly benefit from the support of the UK.
“Let us work together to build a brighter future commonwealth for all.”
Starmer became Britain’s new prime minister as his centre-left opposition Labour Party won over 400 seats in the 650-member House of Commons. It ends 14 years of right-wing Conservative rule.
