The British prime minister said he would not resign on the "irregular gathering" and asked all parties to wait for the final findings

On the 19th local time, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that all parties should wait for the final result of the investigation into the "illegal gathering" incident, and he once again apologized for the possible misjudgment of the incident.

When questioned by parliament on the same day, Johnson said that "everyone should wait for the final findings of Hugh Gray" and that he was not prepared to resign as prime minister.

On the eve of the parliamentary questioning, Conservative MP Christian Vicford called for Johnson to resign and quit the Conservative Party in favor of joining the opposition Labour Party.

More than 10 Conservative MPs have publicly stated that they have submitted letters of no confidence in Johnson. The letter was submitted to Graham Brady, chairman of the Conservative Committee of Ordinary MPs (also known as the "1922 Committee").

According to the procedure, if 15% (54) of Conservative MPs send a letter to the 1922 Committee seeking a vote of no confidence, the no-confidence vote procedure is triggered, which then organizes a secret ballot by MPs.

If the prime minister has the support of at least half (180) members of Parliament, Johnson will remain in office and will not trigger a new vote of no confidence for at least 12 months.

Previously, Prime Minister Johnson categorically denied that he had received a warning of violations of the restrictions on epidemic prevention before the Garden Reception at the Prime Minister's Office on 20 May 2020. When questioned by parliament last week, he said he was only participating in a work-oriented event that day.

At present, Hugh Gray, a senior British government official, is investigating the Johnson government's epidemic prevention violations, and the results of the investigation will be released as soon as this week.

According to the latest poll released by YouGov, the support of The Conservative Party, the ruling British party, has lagged 10 percentage points behind the Labour Party, hitting a new low in 8 years. There have also been plenty of voices in the Conservative Party demanding johnson's early ouster so as not to drag down the Conservatives' local council elections in May. (Reporter Liang Tao)
