UK Prime Minister Theresa May said that she received permission from Queen Elizabeth II to form new parliament. "I will now form a government," she said.

Axar.az reports citing Sputnik.

The latest election results indicate that all parties fall short of the 326 seats required for a parliamentary majority. As such, the election has resulted in a hung parliament, raising concerns of whether May can still be treated as a credible negotiator in the Brexit negotiations, which are due to start on June 19.

The election was called by incumbent Prime Minister Theresa May, the leader of the Conservative Party, in order to unify the parliament ahead of the Brexit talks with Brussels.
