The 1974 October United Kingdom General Election was held on October 10, 1974. This election was called after the February 1974 election resulted in a hung parliament, where no party gained an outright majority. The main political parties involved were the Labour Party, led by Harold Wilson, and the Conservative Party, led by Edward Heath. In this election, the Labour Party won 319 seats, securing a majority in the House of Commons with the support of the Liberal Party. This victory allowed Harold Wilson to become Prime Minister again, marking a significant shift in British politics during a time of economic challenges.
