Before the announcement of the general election in Britain, the allegations of betting on the election dates have put the Conservative Party under question. A party leader has already been arrested in this case and some other leaders have also been accused of betting. Now the news has come that another official of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party has been accused of betting. The accused officer was also involved in betting before the official announcement of the election dates.
