He was suspended last year by then-prime minister Boris Johnson.
LONDON: British prime minister Rishi Sunak faces another difficult vote to fill a vacant seat in parliament after a lawmaker who was given an eight-week suspension for groping two men at a London club last year announced he plans to resign.
Johnson’s initial perceived downplaying of the allegations added to pressure that ultimately led to Johnson’s resignation as prime minister.But he lost that appeal on Monday and faced removal by his constituents due to the length of the suspension.“I have made arrangements to resign and leave the Commons.”
The Conservatives are trailing behind the opposition Labour Party in opinion polls and – as a scandal over crumbling concrete in schools is damaging Sunak’s hopes of a recovery – more defeats would be a further embarrassment.
