Boris Johnson Resigns as Conservative MP Amid 'Partygate' Scandal

News 18  

Britain’s former prime minister Boris Johnson on Friday announced his resignation as an MP, accusing a parliamentary probe into the “Partygate” scandal of driving him out. Johnson, 58, said he was stepping down with immediate effect “triggering an immediate by-election” in his marginal seat, which heaps political pressure on his successor Rishi Sunak. “I did not lie, and I believe that in their hearts the Committee know it,” Johnson said in the statement on Friday. Johnson said he “corrected the record as soon as possible”.
