POLITICAL CRISIS: Several people have called on him to step down in the wake of ethics scandals.
British Prime Minister Boris JohnsonA 10 Downing Street source confirmed to Fox News that Johnson is expected to announce his resignation by the afternoon London time.
British Treasury chief Nadhim Zahawi - one of Johnson's closest allies - told him to resign on Thursday for the good of the country just two days after he was appointed by the prime minister. A group of Johnson’s most trusted Cabinet ministers visited him at his office in Downing Street Wednesday, telling him to stand down after losing the trust of his party. But Johnson instead opted to fight for his political career and fired one of the Cabinet officials, Michael Gove, British media reported.
Johnson's most prominent scandal, Partygate, undercut his trust with voters during the coronavirus pandemic. Johnson was among party members who attended parties at 10 Downing Street and other places while health restrictions prohibited gatherings for regular citizens.
