Nigel Farage says he will not stand in UK general election
Rishi Sunak, 44, called a new election earlier than expected, with his party lagging in the polls, aiming for a risky strategy.
Sunak highlighted his government achievements before announcing the general election on July 4, including the furlough scheme during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sunak, trailing in polls behind Labour, faces party isolation but hopes to leverage uncertainty, with economic gains and immigration plan as potential factors.
