Boris Johnson extends his lead over rivals for top job of UK prime minister, as Interior Minister Sajid Javid is eliminated
Conservative Party leadership candidate Boris Johnson leaves his home in London, Britain, June 20, 2019.
Despite a series of scandals in the past and criticism about his attention to detail, Johnson has dominated the race since May announced a month ago that she would step down after repeatedly failing to get her Brexit deal ratified by parliament. After the final lawmakers' ballot leaves just two candidates remaining, around 160,000 Conservative Party grass-roots members will vote on who will be their leader – and Britain's next prime minister – by the end of July. Bookmakers give Johnson an 89 percent probability of winning.
After entering politics, he was sacked from the Conservative Party’s policy team while in opposition for lying about an extra-marital affair.
