Boris Johnson will remain UK prime minister after his Conservative party secured a majority in the UK election.

The Guardian reports the Conservative party landed seats from the Labour party in the north and midlands.

This means the controversial Brexit deal can now be pushed through in parliament, reports CNN.

Sky News reports Johnson said at a private gathering at the party headquarters that “we have changed the political map of this country”.

Here's a snapshot of how the world reacted to the win.
