In a shocking turn of events, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has resigned as a lawmaker after being informed that he will be sanctioned for misleading Parliament. The news has sent shockwaves through the country, and Johnson didn’t hold back in his resignation statement, throwing accusations at his political opponents and successor, Rishi Sunak. This move is likely to create divisions within the governing Conservative Party.
Johnson’s resignation comes after an investigation by lawmakers found him guilty of making misleading statements to Parliament about events during the pandemic known as “partygate”. Johnson accused his opponents of trying to force him out of Parliament, and hinted that he may make a return at a later stage.
This resignation will spark a special election to replace Johnson as a lawmaker for a suburban London seat. His career has been filled with scandals and comebacks, but his latest scandal involving late-night parties in government buildings during the pandemic proved to be his downfall.
Johnson has admitted that he misled Parliament when he assured lawmakers that no rules had been broken, but he claimed that he did not do so deliberately. He faced suspension from the House of Commons if he was found guilty of lying but chose to resign instead, thereby avoiding the consequences.
The resignation statement was highly critical of Sunak, who served as Treasury chief in Johnson’s government before leaving with many other colleagues in July 2022, which forced Johnson’s departure.
Johnson’s departure from politics leaves many questions unanswered, and Britain is left wondering what the future holds for the Conservative Party. It’s clear that the party needs to regain its momentum and belief in the country’s potential, as Johnson warned in his resignation statement.
