Meanwhile, outgoing Indian-origin Prime Minister Rishi Sunak conceded the Conservative Party's defeat. "Today, power will change hands in a peaceful and orderly manner, with goodwill on all sides. That is something that should give us all confidence in our country's stability and future," Rishi Sunak said while addressing his supporters in Richmond and Northern Allerton. "I am sorry. I take responsibility for the loss," he added.

The representation of Indian-origin MPs will remain a point of interest, given the substantial Indian population in the UK, roughly 1.9 million, as per the 2021 Census.

The previous UK Parliament, with Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister, had 15 Indian-origin MPs, eight from Labour and seven from the Conservative Party, among 65 non-while MPs elected.
