Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of the U.K. since 2019, announced his resignation today. This comes after a mutiny in his party – with multiple officials resigning in protest over a series of scandals that undermined Johnson’s leadership. The Conservative Party in power will select Johnson’s successor. The process of choosing a new leader will likely take weeks and Johnson will remain in his position until a new Prime Minister is in place.
In announcing his resignation, Johnson expressed sadness but didn’t take much responsibility, saying that while he tried to convince his “colleagues that it would be eccentric to change governments when we’re delivering so much,” he wasn’t able to convince them. He said that the next leader of the U.K. will have his full support.
