LONDON - David Cameron's Conservative Party will be the largest party in British new parliament, with 288 seats gained, as 610 of the 649 districts had announced their result as of 0730 GMT.

The results also showed that among the decided seats, the Labor Party won 244, with 51 for the Liberal Democratic Party and 27 for the others.

"What is clear from these results is that the country, our country, wants change," Cameron said Friday after he was announced as the winner in Witney, west of England.
