UK PM Boris Johnson survives the vote of no-confidence

Tory MPs voted on Monday to keep British Prime Minister Boris Johnson as the leader of the Conservative Party. His position was in jeopardy following the “Partygate” scandal, which saw the prime minister face criticism from within the party and among the general public.

Of the 359 ballots cast, 211 MPs votes to support Johnson, with 148 voting against him, the party announced on Monday evening.

Note: The UK is divided into 650 areas. Everyone eligible to vote in each area can cast a vote in regards to which MP they want representing them in the House of Commons. This means that the 211 MPs that voted to keep Boris Johnson in are now at risk of losing their seat in the House of Commons.
