The UK's general election results are facing a delay as a recount has been called in a constituency in the Scottish Highlands, pushing the final outcome to likely be announced on Saturday. The seat in Inverness, Skye, and West Ross-shire, previously held by the Scottish National Party with a majority of over 12,000, was initially expected to be declared early Friday morning. However, a second recount was deemed necessary, leading to the postponement of the announcement to Saturday.

Only two seats out of 650 remain undecided, including South Basildon and East Thurrock.
