UK election betting scandal widens as a fourth Conservative Party official reportedly investigated 

Britain's Prime Minister and Conservative Party leader Rishi Sunak meets with nighttime economy representatives in central London, June 22, 2024 as part of a campaign event in the build-up to the July 4 general election.

The chief data officer of Britain's Conservative Party has taken a leave of absence, British media reported Sunday, following growing allegations that the governing party's members used inside information to bet on the date of Britain's July 4 national election before it was announced.
