The Labour Party, led by Keir Starmer, defeated the Conservative Party, led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, in the most recent general elections in the United Kingdom.

As Sunak was giving his farewell address to the public, YouTuber Niko Omilana appeared behind him and held out a piece of paper with a large letter "L" on it.

"Hold this L rishi, your time is up," Omilana, whose fan base exceeds 7.49 million, wrote in reference to Sunak, calling him a "loser" in the prank.

He even shared the clip from the event on X with the caption, "I did it for the people."

In only four hours, the tweet received over 2.6 million views, 459 comments, and 6.5K retweets, as of the time of writing.

Omilana was seen in the video moving behind the former PM to make sure his sign was captured in the frames.

Here's how people reacted to the post:

"Hold L behind a clown is a massive W," a user wrote on X.

"I love how he didn't even notice it lmfao," wrote another.

"Everytime you choose to satire an election instead of actually running. You hold the biggest L of all NEEKO! Because you are actually an incredibly smart and gifted man. A very powerful young man with a lot of power and a good heart!! You should be doing this for REAL!!!" a third user commented.

A fourth user wrote, "Rishi got the worst team ever - they never even tried to stop it lol"

"Why does this lowkey look like a green screen? The way he's smiling in the front, not knowing there's someone literally behind him holding a poster with an L on it loll," another netizen wrote.
