Boris Johnson will face a leadership vote in his ruling Conservative Party following a series of scandals, including becoming the first sitting prime minister found to have broken the law.
The confidence vote was due to take place Monday from 6 p.m. U.K. time, the BBC reported.
Pressure on the British prime minister has been building over "partygate,” the media nickname for the illegal events in Downing Street during the pandemic for which Johnson received a police fine. The scandal compounded the sense of frustration among Tory MPs, after what they saw as a series of errors and U-turns that have seen the party slump in opinion polls.
