London, May 7 (Inditop.com) Labour leader Gordon Brown, who is hoping to retain power, had lamb stew with his wife Sarah before leaving for the count.

Sarah cooked Brown lamb stew as they relaxed at home in Kirkcaldy near Edinburgh, mirror.co.uk reported.

Brown had started Thursday by voting at the North Queensferry Community Centre. He then spent a few hours with close aides.

After the meal, Brown took a snooze before asking an aide to buy two Freeview boxes to watch all TV news channels at once.

He left home just after midnight to go to the count.
