According to media reports, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is resigning from parliament. The reason for this was allegations from a parliamentary committee that he had lied to the lower house in the ‘Partygate’ affair, the Conservative politician said on Friday evening, various British media reported.
Johnson wants to resign the mandate effective immediately. At the same time, Johnson also stressed that he had no understanding of the commission’s allegations in the Downing Street closure scandal. The committee on the “Partygate” affair recommended that the former prime minister be suspended for ten days.
He was very sad to have to leave Parliament, at least for now, it said. The commission assumes a small handful of people who have no evidence to support their claims. In any case, it was an honor to be a Member of Parliament and Mayor of London. A by-election is looming in Johnson’s North West London constituency amid poor Tory polls.
Prime Minister has already had to pay a fine
The committee is currently investigating whether Johnson lied to parliament about the illegal Downing Street lockdown party scandal. During the coronavirus pandemic, Downing Street government officials and authorities had repeatedly gathered to celebrate with alcohol and music, in violation of regulations. Johnson and incumbent Prime Minister Rishi Sunak were each fined for attending an event.
