British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has survived a “vote of no confidence” from his own party after at least 54 Conservative members of Parliament submitted letters claiming they no longer had faith in his ability to lead the country.
Sir Graham Brady announced the results after 359 members cast their votes deciding his fate. To remove Johnson from his role as leader of the party, 180 votes were needed. A total of 211 said they had confidence, while 148 said they did not. The vote also means that Johnson cannot face another vote of no confidence for a year.
