Export polls show that the Conservatives will win 368 seats, enough to ensure an absolute majority of all 650 parliamentary seats. The Labour Party is expected to win 191 seats, while the SNP and the Liberal Democrats are expected to receive 55 and 13, respectively.
The official results will be announced in the next seven hours.
In the past five national elections, only 2015's export polls were expected to be wrong. At that time, the investigation predicted that there would be a parliament in suspension, but the Conservative Party won the majority, 14 seats more than the estimated number of seats.
If Johnson's early election bet is a success, he will soon take action to get his deal with the EU approved, leading the UK out of the EU on January 31 - 10 months later than originally planned.
This early election is the first one held in winter in Britain since 1923, aiming to break what Johnson called the paralysis of the British political system. The British political system has been in a stalemate for more than three years about how, when and even whether to leave the EU.
Johnson, 55, was a representative of the brexit camp in the 2016 referendum. His campaign slogan in this election is "complete brexit", promising to end the deadlock and increase medical, education and police spending.
