China News Service, April 29. According to foreign media reports, the National Election Commission of the United Kingdom announced on the 28th that it will review the sources of funds for the renovation of Prime Minister Johnson’s residence.
The committee said in a statement that "we have reason to suspect that one or more violations have occurred."

The British Electoral Commission is an independent body responsible for supervising elections and regulating political financial resources.
The committee stated that it will assess whether the financing related to the British Prime Minister’s residence project is within the jurisdiction of the committee and whether the related capital flows have been reported as required.
If the committee finds sufficient evidence of illegality, it may issue a fine of up to 20,000 pounds or submit the matter to the police.
It is reported that Johnson used party donations to pay for the expensive renovation of his apartment in Downing Street, London.
According to reports, the amount far exceeds the maximum limit of 30,000 pounds that the Prime Minister is entitled to each year.
Johnson himself denied any wrongdoing in the weekly Congressional Q&A.
He said: "I pay for it myself."
The leader of the opposition Labor Party, Stammer, accused Johnson of evading critical issues.
He emphasized that it is important to clarify whether there is a transitional flow of funds.
The opposition leader warned that if Johnson did not tell the truth, he "must step down."
According to reports, the allegations have been circulating in the media for some time, but on April 23, Johnson’s former consultant Cummings broke the news in a blog post, which gave him a new boost.
