LONDON — UK Prime Minister Theresa May and three key members of the ruling Conservative government have retained their parliamentary seats following the official announcement of results in their constituencies on Friday.<\/p>\n

More than 37,000 voters supported May in her home constituency of Maidenhead.<\/p>\n

Secretary of State for Defense Michael Fallon, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Boris Johnson, and Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond were declared winners in their respective constituencies.<\/p>\n

So far, results from about 240 out of 650 constituencies have been announced, with the final result still being uncertain.<\/p>\n

BBC political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, said in her Twitter account: “Ministers now saying not expecting to outperform exit poll.”<\/p>\n

The exit poll by the country\u2019s three major broadcasters, projects Prime Minister Theresa May\u2019s Conservative party to get 314 places in the 650-seat parliament, which is 16 mandates less than in the previous parliament.<\/p>\n

The Labour party will get 266 seats, while 14 will go to Liberal Democrats, 34 to the Scottish National Party and 22 to other political forces.<\/p>\n

With no overall majority, the Conservatives would not be able to overrule the combined weight of other parties.<\/p>\n

The final results from all 650 constituencies are to be known later on Friday morning. (TASS)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
