London:Polls opened in the UK on Thursday as voters began deciding who they want to resolve the stalemate over Brexit in a parliamentary election seen as one of the most important since the end of World War II.
The ballot will mark the end of a six-week campaign during which Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn, his main challenger, have battled for support.
Polls open in London for UK elections, on Thursday. More than 45 million voters are registered to take part. The winning candidate must have a majority in the 650-seat House of Commons to activate their plans.
55-year-old Johnson has promised that a right-wing Conservative government would "get Brexit done" and take the UK out of the EU by the end of January 2020. He also warned of more "dither and delay" in the event of a Labour victory.
Leader of the left-wing Labour Party Corbyn has said he would broker a softer divorce deal than Johnson's.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson arrived to cast his ballot on Thursday morning as the nation goes to the polls in a general election. The MRP poll, a major YouGov study released on Tuesday, has predicted that no party will win an outright majority. It showed the conservative party will win 339 seats overall a slender majority of 28 seats - down from the sizeable 68 majority forecast by YouGov two weeks ago.
It also forecasts that the Labour party was set to win 231 seats, the Scottish Nationalist Party 41 seats and the pro-EU Liberal Democrats 15 seats.
