Conservative MPs began casting their ballots in a no-confidence vote in Prime Minister Boris Johnson, which could end in his immediate removal as party leader and signal the end of his time in power. The vote’s result is expected around an hour after voting ends at 8pm local time (1900 GMT).
"The threshold of 15% of the parliamentary party seeking a vote of confidence in the leader of the Conservative Party has been exceeded," the chairman of the 1922 Committee Graham Brady wrote earlier on Monday in a note to Conservative lawmakers.
