Britain’s ruling Conservative party suspended its campaign for Thursday’s general election after six people died in a suspected terror attack in London on Saturday night.
The party said it “will not be campaigning nationally today. We will review as the day goes on and as more details of the attack emerge,” a spokesman told AFP.
The comments came just hours after a deadly attack left at least six people dead and 48 others hospitalised when a van rammed pedestrians shortly before three assailants began stabbing random civilians in the heart of the city.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for Saturday’s attack on London, however this is the second time the July 8 election have been suspended due to a terror attack on British soil.
Last week, Britain’s political parties set aside their differences after an Islamic State-claimed terror attack left 22 dead in Manchester.
