Lawmakers have rejected British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s call for a snap election on October 15, 2019.

The motion failed to reach two thirds majority with 298 votes for and 56 against.

Labour leader Jeremey Corbyn said they would support an election after a bill is passed preventing a no-deal Brexit.

Mr Corbyn said the Prime Minister is "playing a disingenuous game" to force a no-deal.
