“My prediction, if you like, and this is the first time I’m making it here, is that he will step down by the end of March,” Baker said.
Opposition and Liberal Democratic leaders called for Johnson's resignation this morning, he said.
In his opinion, the Scottish National Party also supported the resignation.
The ex-deputy minister also said that Johnson's resignation is possible "either through a general election, or his party members in parliament can do it."
“I believe that some of them are terrified of his antics, while others are trying to calculate [the consequences] that he has become a burden and will cause colossal damage to the Conservative Party,” he says.
Johnson was previously accused of hosting a party at the Downing Street government residence in 2020, despite the UK lockdown.
Johnson apologized for attending the party on January 12, Sky News reported.
He also stated that he believed it was a "work event".
