Conservative Party leader Rishi Sunak | X/@RishiSunak
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.
