Boris Johnson Resigns as MP Amid Partygate Scandal Probe

Ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson has elected to step down from his role as a Member of Parliament (MP) following an investigation into the Partygate scandal by the House of Commons privileges committee.

Johnson has criticized the committee’s probe, branding it a “kangaroo court” and claiming its bias against him.

Johnson has asserted that the committee could not produce any conclusive evidence that he knowingly provided misleading information to Parliament regarding the lockdown parties held at Downing Street. He underscored that his statements to the Commons were based on the information he provided, as with any other minister. He highlighted his timely correction of the record when required.

Johnson maintained his innocence and believed that the committee members were aware of his innocence. Despite the facts, the ex-prime minister, a parliamentary member since 2001, voiced his dismay over the investigation’s direction, which he feels was designed to find him guilty. While asserting his honesty, Johnson didn’t completely close the door on a potential future political return as he stepped away from his MP role.

Johnson’s decision to resign occurs amid accusations of favoritism surrounding his management of appointments and honors. His recently revealed resignation honors list, featuring peerage and knighthood nominations, faced criticism, with detractors calling it a “crony catalog.”

The immediate resignation of Johnson will initiate a by-election in his Uxbridge and South Ruislip constituency, which he secured convincingly in the 2019 general election. With the Partygate scandal’s ramifications and Johnson’s departure yet to be determined, his political trajectory remains ambiguous.
