Subject to a vote of no confidence from his party following the "partygate" affair, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson emerged victorious from this showdown with the Conservative Party.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson won a vote of no confidence on Monday night provoked by a revolt from his Conservative Party after the "partygate" scandal.

Mr. Johnson obtained 211 votes from Conservative MPs in his favor against 148 asking for his departure in a secret ballot, which allows him to remain leader of the party and save his post as head of government.
