British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said a general election would be held in the second half of this year, when asked if there would be a vote this summer.
Sunak has met repeated questions about a possible early election with the line that the next national vote will be held in the second half of the year, with some lawmakers expecting that to take place towards the latter part of the year.
But his answer has done little to temper rumours, which flared again on Wednesday, that he might move earlier and call a national election to take place in July.
