Known for his gaffes and accused of misleading voters over Brexit, Johnson says, ‘Of course I’m going to go for it’

Britain’s Boris Johnson, the former foreign minister, former mayor of London and leading Brexit campaigner, confirmed on Thursday that he will run for the premiership when Theresa May quits, British media reported.

May has yet to set a date for her departure from Downing Street, but she has promised to step down once the first stage of Britain’s exit from the EU is secured. Johnson, who was poised to run against May when she took office after the 2016 referendum, has long been assumed to be a candidate when the right time came, but has recently kept out the limelight.

2019 ELECTIONS: ANALYSIS: Throwing a spanner into SA’s electoral wheels, and the interests behind itOne of the stories of the 2019 elections has been the group of parties that claims that the elections have been “stolen” or that there is a vast conspiracy against them.
