Ex-UK PM Boris Johnson to run again as MP at next general election; Details here

Former UK PM Boris Johnson has a polarizing status and is at the centre of British politics as he is not yet done with the Parliament. Reports say that he will soon run again at next general election for the MP.

Agencies
Boris Johnson is planning to run for re-election, and some sources have confirmed this. The dates are scheduled for 2024 when Boris will fill in the candidature at the comprehensive national poll in Uxbridge and South Ruislip. This election is a significant opportunity and can open doors to him becoming the nation's Prime Minister again after a tumultuous tenure at Downing Street.

Statistics say that many have resigned this summer from the Parliamentary office. Since 2015 he has been an MP in the London constituency. Later he won with a majority of 5,034 votes in 2017. And two years after that, in 2019, he became the Prime minister with a whopping 7,210 votes in his favour.

The sources also confirmed the legendary English politician's decision to run for the election for the fourth time. Johnson first informed the Conservative Party locally and informed his intention to run the Prime Minister's race via a telegraph. Commons investigation suspects the leader will face some fights this time as he misled many politicians in lockdown. He embraced a life of a backbencher and tweeted about the constituency visits, including Uxbridge High School and Ruislip Synagogue.

On the speaking circuit, it is evident that Boris Johnson has begun a post-PM career and is paid a handsome amount of 276,000 Euros to American insurers after leaving the legislative office.

Johnson's apparent ambition to Downing Street could challenge UK's current PM Rishi Sunak. Yet the recovery of the reputation of the Conservatives is a point of struggle.
