Conservative British Prime Minister Theresa May has not reached an agreement with Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).

“The DUP today (Saturday) held discussions with representatives of the Conservative Party in line with Arlene Foster's commitment to explore how we might bring stability to the nation at this time of great challenge. The talks so far have been positive. Discussions will continue next week to work on the details and to reach agreement on arrangements for the new Parliament,” the party said in a statement to Sky News.

May planned to form a coalition with the Northern Irish political party, which would involve the party’s 10 Members of Parliament supporting the Conservative party on important votes. She had already issued a statement saying that the two groups had reached a deal.

Thursday’s U.K. general election saw the Conservatives lose more seats than expected in Parliament, while the Labour gained more seats than expected.

May called for a snap election in April, pledging to form a government that would guide the country through the Brexit process. However, Thursday’s result could weaken her stance.

Labour’s leader Jeremy Corbyn is maintaining that May will not remain prime minister for long.

“I can still be Prime Minister. This is still on. Absolutely. Theresa May has been to the Palace. She’s attempting to form a government," he told the Mirror.

“I don’t think Theresa May and this government have any credibility. The Prime Minister called this election on the basis she would need a stronger mandate to negotiate Brexit," Corbyn said. "Well look what's happened."
