British Prime Minister Theresa May has ruled out a possible delay in the June 8 general election following Saturday’s terror attack in London.
The race for the upcoming vote came to a halt after eight people were killed and 48 more were injured in three separate incidents across London on Saturday night.
“Violence can never be allowed to disrupt the democratic process, so those campaigns will resume in full tomorrow and the general election will go ahead as planned on Thursday,” May said outside the 10 Downing Street in the British capital on Sunday.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan also opposed the notion of delaying the vote, saying it was something that terrorists wanted.
