London: Britain’s ruling Conservative Party is going to bring a no-confidence against Prime Minister Boris Johnson, which could lead to his ouster. Party official Graham Brady said he had received several letters from lawmakers seeking a vote over Johnson’s leadership. If Johnson loses a vote between the Conservative’s 359 lawmakers, he will be removed from the post of Conservative leader and Prime Minister.

“If they win, it will pave the way for them to continue in office for a year. Johnson has been on target during the COVID-19 lockdown over several cases including violation of rules in government buildings,” a Conservative leader said.
