LONDON - Prime Minister Rishi Sunak suffered a political upset as his ruling Conservative Party lost a key parliamentary election in south-west England to the Liberal Democrats, raising fresh questions about whether he can hang onto its “Blue Wall” strongholds in a national poll expected next year.
Mr Sunak’s Conservatives unexpectedly held onto Mr Boris Johnson’s old parliamentary seat Uxbridge and South Ruislip in north-west London. Somerton and Frome has long passed between the Conservatives and Lib Dems, but had been in Tory hands since 2015. MP David Warburton won a big majority of 19,213 at the 2019 election.
