The vote was called after scores of Conservative legislators submitted letters of no confidence in his leadership. It will take place between 1 and 3 p.m. ET. Johnson will be eliminated if he loses. Following the discovery of a succession of Covid lockdown-busting parties inside his No. 10 Downing Street apartment and office over the past two years, the prime minister has sparked outrage across the country. Police penalised him and dozens of others for the gatherings, despite the fact that they had earlier denied breaching any rules.
