Gyimah was one of 21 Conservative legislators kicked out of the parliamentary party after they voted to block Johnson from taking Britain out of the EU on Oct. 31 unless he first brokers a new transition deal. Gyimah, 43, was universities minister until November 2018, when he quit in opposition to then-Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit plans, and considered running for the leadership of the Conservative Party after she stepped down.

Johnson wants to hold a national election, something opposition parties have so far blocked, fearing he could still seek to achieve a no-deal Brexit. The Liberal Democrats want Britain to remain in the EU, despite 2016’s referendum decision in favor of leaving.
