Rishi Sunak is expected to remain a backbench MP if his party loses the upcoming general election, the results of which will be known on Friday, as per a TOI report. However, there is a risk that he might lose his seat, becoming the first sitting PM to lose both a general election and his seat simultaneously. In the 2019 election, Sunak, 44, won the Richmond and Northallerton seat with a majority of 27,210 votes, securing 63% of the vote. No incumbent prime minister has ever lost their seat in a UK general election.

record number of around 28 Indian-origin members of Parliament have been elected to the House of Commons in the UK's general election as results were announced on Friday, with several Conservatives surviving an overall brutal outcome for their party. Outgoing prime minister Rishi Sunak leads the Tory charge of British Indians holding on to their seats, with a decisive win in his Richmond and Northallerton constituency in Yorkshire. It would have come as small consolation for the Tory leader, who saw his party haemorrhage over 200 seats as the Labour Party's landslide victory unfolded. «On this difficult night, I would like to express my gratitude to the people of the Richmond and Northallerton constituency for your continued support. Since I moved here a decade ago, you have made me and my family feel so at home and I look forward to serving you for years to come,» said Sunak, in a message clearly aimed at dismissing pre-election chatter around his future plans as a politician. Other prominent British Indian Tories holding on to their seats included former home secretaries, Suella Braverman and Priti Patel, as did Sunak's Goan-origin Cabinet ally Claire Coutinho.

Rishi Sunak as Britain's first Prime Minister of Indian origin and the leader of the Conservative Party — fighting anti-incumbency of 14 years — hangs in the balance as millions of voters cast their ballots in a historic general election on Thursday. The British Indian leader and the man who wants his job — Labour leader Keir Starmer were among the early voters from an estimated 46 million registered voters as around 40,000 polling booths opened across the country at 7 am local time. Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty walked hand-in-hand to their local polling booth on a sunny day in his constituency of Richmond and Northallerton in Yorkshire, northern England. A little later, Starmer and wife Victoria were at their polling station in Camden, north London, sporting Labour red colours.
