Boris Johnson quits as UK lawmaker after being told he will be sanctioned for misleading Parliament
London, Jun 10 (PTI) Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has shocked the nation by abruptly quitting as a member of the parliament after being told by a parliamentary committee that he will be sanctioned for misleading Parliament over lockdown-breaking parties at Downing Street during his premiership.
Johnson, 58, had been under investigation by a parliamentary inquiry looking into whether he misled the House of Commons about lockdown-breaking parties in Downing Street during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Johnson's decision came on Friday as he received a confidential letter from the MP-led privileges Committee over the crucial matter.
