Boris Johnson throws in the towel and prepares for his resignation

The head of the British government leaves before the cascade of resignation within the executive branch

Boris Johnson will step down as leader of the British Conservative Party on Thursday and will retain control of the British government until the election of his successor as prime minister. The BBC’s political correspondent Chris Mason made the announcement after an uncertain start to the day.

Downing Street kept communication channels closed from early in the morning as the cascade of resignations from government positions that had lost the confidence of the still-conservative president mounted.

According to the BBC, Johnson will remain in Downing Street until the change of leadership in the fall. Ahead of the election process, the next prime minister will be elected, with an initial screening within the faction and the opportunity after the ‘tories’ affiliates vote for one of the two finalists.
