Boris Johnson has won the confidence of fellow Conservative MPs this evening and will remain in power as the Prime Minister of the UK. The PM learned his fate when the result was publicly announced by Sir Graham Brady, Chairman of the Conservatives’ 1922 Committee at 9pm this evening (June 6).
Johnson won enough votes to make it through, with 211 ministers voting in favour and 148 against him in a major Tory rebellion, with 359 total ballots cast. Every single Conservative MP took part in the vote on Monday, with the results meaning that Johnson received 58.8 per cent support of the party, with 41.2 per cent currently being against his current leadership.
