According to British media, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has decided to resign, in this regard, Prime Minister Boris Johnson will issue a statement in a few hours.
Boris Johnson will remain the leader of the party until a new leader is elected, remembering that several ministers in Boris Johnson’s cabinet have already resigned expressing distrust in him.
His Downing Street office confirmed that Johnson would make a statement to the country later.
After days of battling for his job, Johnson had been abandoned by all but a handful of allies after the latest in a series of scandals broke their willingness to support him.
“His resignation was inevitable,” Justin Tomlinson, Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party, said on Twitter. “As a party we must quickly unite and focus on what matters. These are serious times on many fronts.”
The Conservatives will now have to elect a new leader, a process which could take about two months.
In a sign of his evaporating support over one of the most turbulent 24 hours in recent British political history, Johnson’s finance minister, Nadhim Zahawi, who was only appointed to his post on Tuesday, had called on his boss to resign.
“This is not sustainable and it will only get worse: for you, for the Conservative Party and most importantly of all the country,” he said on Twitter. “You must do the right thing and go now.”
Some of those that remained in post, including defence minister Ben Wallace, said they were only doing so because they had an obligation to keep the country safe.
