Polls put the former London mayor in a clear lead, with 70 percent of the vote.

Boris Johnson is expected to be elected leader of Britain’s governing Conservative Party and the country’s next prime minister on Tuesday, tasked with following through on his “do or die” pledge to deliver Brexit in just over three months time.

He will inherit a political crisis over Britain’s exit from the European Union, currently due to take place on Oct 31. He has said he would ramp up preparations for a no-deal to try to force the EU’s negotiators to make changes to the accord.
