Boris Johnson wins confidence vote over partygate; But faces Tory rebellion

Published on Jun 07, 2022 10:13 am IST

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has won the backing of a majority of Tory MPs in a confidence vote despite a significant revolt against his leadership. The UK PM won 59% of the vote, meaning he is now immune from a Conservative leadership challenge for a year. In all, 211 Tory MPs voted they had confidence in the PM's leadership while 148 voted against him. Johnson described his confidence vote win over the partygate scandal as 'decisive'. The UK PM remains in office, but critics say the scale of the rebellion against him showed his authority had been weakened, with some calling on him to resign. Watch this report to know more.
