Boris Johnson will stand again as an MP at the next General Election, a source close to the former Prime Minister has confirmed. Mr Johnson will run for re-election in Uxbridge and South Ruislip at the next poll, expected to be held in 2024.
He has been an MP in the west London constituency since 2015, winning it with a majority of 5,034 in 2017 and 7,210 in 2019, by which time he was Prime Minister. It has been a Tory seat since its creation in 2010.
The source confirmed Mr Johnson's decision to stand for a fourth time after the Telegraph first reported that he told his local Conservative Party of his intention. But if a continuing Commons investigation finds he committed contempt of Parliament by misleading MPs over lockdown-busting parties in Downing Street, Mr Johnson could face a fight for his seat in a by-election.
