Who will take over as British prime minister?

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has agreed to step down. However, he wants to remain in office until a new Conservative Party leader is elected in the fall.

This was reported by the BBC.

"He wants a new Tory leader appointed by the party conference. He wants to stay on as prime minister until then," the report says.

It should be noted that a scandal erupted in Britain last week when it was revealed that Chris Pincher, the deputy chief organizer of the ruling Conservative Party in the House of Commons, staged a drunken brawl at London's elite Carlton Club for Conservatives in Piccadilly. Pincher has since resigned.

The scandal caused a wave of resignations. In particular, 54 ministers left the government.
