THE 2019 general election race is drawing to a close, the exit poll is out and Boris is on track for a Tory majority.
So who will be the next person in Number 10? Here’s what the bookies and the latest polls say.
Who will win the general election 2019?
Polling stations have closed and the exit poll is out, so who’s got the edge so far?
According to the exit poll:
- Tories will win 368 seats
- Labour will drop from 262 seats to 191
- The SNP are set to win 55 out of 59 seats in Scotland
- Lib Dems are expected to only gain one seat
What did the last poll before the general election predict?
Prior to today’s exit poll the Tories were still predicted to win, but by a much narrower margin.
The poll, which correctly forecast the election results in 2017, suggested Boris would need every vote in today’s ballot.
What are the lastest odds?
Since tonight’s exit poll results, bookies have drastically revised odds of a Tory majority from 4/9 to 1/50.
A Labout majority, according to William Hill has gone from 16/1 to a rather unlikely 33/1.
The Lib Dems’ likelihood of a majority was previously 250/1.
When will we know the results?
The final results of the general election won’t be confirmed until early on Friday morning.
All the major TV broadcasters are covering the results as they happen throughout the night.
