Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced his resignation as a lawmaker after being told he will be sanctioned for misleading Parliament. Johnson quit after an investigation by lawmakers over misleading statements he made to Parliament about gatherings in government buildings in 2020 and 2021 that breached pandemic lockdown rules. The scandal helped hasten the end of his premiership and Johnson was forced out by his own party less than three years later. Johnson's resignation as a lawmaker comes amid multiple scandals that forced him to quit as prime minister in 2022.
