Boris Johnson, the British Prime Minister, has survived a vote of no confidence in the wake of the Partygate incident.

Boris Johnson, the British Prime Minister, survived a vote of confidence in his leadership on Monday, with 211 Conservative Party members voting to keep him as their leader.

However, 148 Tory members of Parliament voted against Johnson, resulting in a 58.8% for and 41.2 percent against vote, which Johnson said was overwhelmingly in his favor.

His critics have labelled the figure as a negative for his long-term prospects as the party’s leader, while his defenders point out that he has the support of the majority of his party.

In response to the election, Johnson said, “I think this is a really excellent result for politics and for the country.”
