Theresa May hold talks with DUP to form government
May-led Conservative Party failed to secure majority in the recently concluded snap election in UK, as they are short of eight seats to from the government.
Reports suggested, DUP which has 10 seats under their belt might lend their support to form the government.
DUP leaders, Arlene Foster and Nigel Dodds, are currently in the Westminister to discuss the possibility of post election ties.
The Conservative party had won 318 seats while the opposition Labour Party bagged 261 seats.
The Scottish National Party (SNP) won 35 seats, the Liberal Democrats 12 and the Democratic Unionist Party 10 in the election.
May, who had inherited her government from former UK PM David Cameron in 2016, called for a snap election but failed to seal a clear victory.
Cameron resigned from his post after the defeat in the Brexit as 52% of people voted for an exit from the European Union (EU).
In the first cabinet meeting since election, May discussed several issues which include DUP deal as well as Brexit, that took place on Tuesday.
The PM even apologised to Tory MPs for calling a snap election but failing to win it. She took the responsibility for not getting a clear victory and also ensured that she would fix it.
