– ‘Too close to call’ –
The official “Leave” campaign declined to comment on the possible outcome, with a source telling AFP before the first results came in that it was “too close to call”.
Leading Brexit campaigner Boris Johnson joined 83 other Conservative MPs in signing a letter released Thursday that insisted Cameron should stay in his post regardless of the result of Britain’s decision.
Johnson, the former London mayor, said the race was “very close”, as he returned to the British capital from Edinburgh.
Several polling stations had to be relocated due to flooding and one was being run on a generator due to a power outage.
Polling stations were set up at locations including churches, schools and even a launderette and a windmill.
