Prime Minister Boris Johnson will hold onto his position as the prime minister of British after winning a vote of confidence on Monday. The result was announced by the chairman of the 1992 committee Sir Graham Brady after claiming the confidence vote by Tory MPs 211 to 148. I can announce that the parliamentary party does have confidence in the prime minister,” said Brady.
The BBC reported that Johnson received 58.8% of support from the Conservative Party, with 41.2% voting against him. The development of a confidence vote was triggered after enough letters of no confidence in Johnson by fellow Conservative Party lawmakers were submitted.
According to the Washington Post, a confidence vote is triggered when 15% of the Conservative’s Parliamentary party submit letters to the chair of the 1922 Committee which is a make up of a powerful group of backbench Tory lawmakers. And, in order to survive, Johnson needed a simple majority — or 180 votes — of his fellow party members.
Meanwhile, Johnson’s supporters said ahead of the vote that he would survive the no-confidence vote and would remain prime minister, while taking into account how his predecessor, Theresa May, survived a no-confidence challenge over her failed Brexit deal in 2018.
