UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson agrees to step down
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has agreed to step down from his post.
Johnson had rejected calls by his Cabinet to resign following recent ethics scandals.
He gave in after more than 50 ministers quit his government and told him to go. One of his closest allies, Treasury Chief Nadhim Zahawi, also told the prime minister to resign for the good of the country.
It was not immediately clear Thursday whether Johnson would stay in office while the Conservative Party chooses a new leader, who will replace him as prime minister.
