Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson is set to resign on Thursday as Conservative Leader following several ministerial resignations.

Johnson will continue as the prime minister until autumn to allow a Tory leadership contest to take place, BBC reported.

After the election, Boris will tender his resignation to the Queen and she will summon the leader of the party that can assemble a majority in the Commons to ask them to form a government.

A member of the Britain parliament, Keir Starmer in a statement reacted to Johnson’s announcement
