Boris Johnson, the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, wants to stay in power until 2035. On Saturday (June 25), he said he aims to stay in power for the next 10 years. However, Boris Johnson has recently been cornered in British politics due to his controversial actions and has demanded his resignation.
But if the British prime minister is able to stay in power until the middle of the next 10 years, it will make him the longest-serving leader in the United Kingdom in 200 years. The news agency Reuters reported this information in a report on Sunday (June 26).
Earlier this month, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson won a no-confidence vote in the United Kingdom’s ruling Conservative Party. Johnson was under pressure for a number of reasons, one of which was Coronavirus lockdown
Time to party to break down Downing Street restrictions. Johnson received 211 votes in the no-confidence vote. There were 148 votes against. As a result of this result, no further no-confidence motion will be filed against this British Prime Minister in the next year.
Reuters says the Conservative Party won a vote of confidence in lawmakers earlier this month, but 41 percent of his party’s parliamentary colleagues voted to oust Johnson. An investigation is also underway against Boris Johnson for deliberately misleading the British Parliament.
Under Conservative Party rules, party lawmakers will not be able to formally challenge Boris Johnson for the next year after surviving a no-confidence vote. But irresistible discontent on various issues or the resignation of multiple senior ministers could further destabilize Boris Johnson’s position.
The United Kingdom, like many other countries in the world, is facing the deepest living crisis in decades. The country’s inflation is at its highest level in the last 40 years.
Former Conservative Party leader Michael Howard said Friday that it was time for Boris Johnson to step down as prime minister. On the other hand, Oliver Dowden, the chairman of the Conservative Party, resigned after losing the by-election.
But Boris Johnson says he wants to run for a third term as British prime minister. ..In his words, he wants to remain prime minister until mid-2030 to change the United Kingdom’s legal and immigration system to reduce regional economic inequality.
Johnson told Rwanda reporters on the last day of the tour for the Commonwealth Summit, ‘I am actively thinking about having a third term as Prime Minister at the moment and you know what might happen then. But when the matter comes up, I will review it. ‘
Asked what he meant by staying in power for a third term, Johnson Johnson said: “About the third term … it’s mid-2030.”
Reuters says Johnson must hold the United Kingdom’s next national election by December 2024 and win a third election by 2029 (to stay in power until the mid-2030).
However, if Boris Johnson is able to be the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in early 2031, then he will be the Prime Minister for a long time after Robert Banks Jenkinson, who served from 1812 to 1827He will lose Margaret Thatcher’s record.
