Personal Information

Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson is a British politician who has been serving as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party since 2019.

He announced his pending resignation on 7 July 2022 and will remain as prime minister until a new party leader is elected.

He previously served as Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs from 2016 to 2018 and Mayor of London from 2008 to 2016.

Johnson has been a member of Parliament (MP) for Uxbridge and South Ruislip since 2015 and previously for Henley from 2001 to 2008.

Johnson attended Eton College and read Classics at Balliol College, Oxford.

He was elected president of the Oxford Union in 1986.

In 1989, he became the Brussels correspondent, and later political columnist, for The Daily Telegraph, and was editor of The Spectator magazine from 1999 to 2005.

After being elected to Parliament in 2001, Johnson was a shadow minister under Conservative leaders Michael Howard and David Cameron.

In 2008, he was elected mayor of London and resigned from the House of Commons: he was re-elected as mayor in 2012.

In the 2015 election, Johnson was elected MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip.

The following year, he did not seek re-election as mayor.

He became a prominent figure in the successful Vote Leave campaign for Brexit in the 2016 European Union (EU) membership referendum.

Theresa May appointed him foreign secretary after the referendum; he resigned the position two years later in protest of the Chequers Agreement and May’s approach to Brexit.

In 2019, Johnson was elected Conservative leader, becoming the first British Prime Minister to have non-European ancestry.

He re-opened Brexit negotiations and in early September controversially prorogued Parliament: the Supreme Court ruled the action unlawful later that month.

After agreeing to a revised Brexit withdrawal agreement with the EU, which replaced the Irish backstop with a new Northern Ireland Protocol, but failing to win parliamentary support for the agreement, Johnson called a snap election for December 2019 in which he led the Conservative Party to victory with 43.6 percent of the vote, and the party’s largest seat share since 1987.

On 31 January 2020, the United Kingdom withdrew from the EU, entering into a transition period and trade negotiations leading to the EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement.

The COVID-19 pandemic became a major issue of his premiership: the government responded with various emergency powers, introduced measures across society to mitigate its impact, and approved the rollout of a nationwide vaccination program.

However, he faced a controversy known as ‘Partygate’ over his breaching of COVID-19 regulations and receipt of a fixed penalty notice, when he became the first British prime minister to be sanctioned for breaking the law while in office.

The publishing of the Sue Gray report and a widespread sense of dissatisfaction led to a confidence vote in his leadership among Conservative MPs in June 2022, which he survived though he was politically weakened. Revelations in July 2022 over his hiring of Chris Pincher as Government Deputy Chief Whip, however, led to a mass resignation of members of the government and Johnson resigning as party leader.

He remains in office in a caretaker capacity pending a leadership election. Johnson is a controversial figure in British politics.

Supporters have praised him as humorous, witty, and entertaining, with an appeal stretching beyond traditional Conservative voters.

Conversely, his critics have accused him of lying, elitism, cronyism, and bigotry.

Johnson’s political positions generally follow one-nation conservatism, and commentators have described his political style as opportunistic, populist, and pragmatic.

In November 2021, Johnson warned that the European Union faces ‘a choice’ between ‘sticking up for Ukraine’ and approving the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline which runs from Russia to Europe.

During the 2021–2022 Russo-Ukrainian crisis, Johnson’s government warned the Russian Government not to invade Donbas.

Despite this, Johnson’s Foreign Secretary Liz Truss told BBC News that British troops were ‘unlikely’ to be deployed.

In a phone call to President Vladimir Putin, Johnson urged him to ‘avoid bloodshed. Johnson and Putin agreed in a phone call to work towards a ‘peaceful resolution’.

On 1 February 2022, Johnson arrived in Kyiv on a diplomatic visit.

He called the presence of the Russian Armed Forces near the Russia–Ukraine border ‘the biggest security crisis that Europe has faced for decades.

The Kremlin denied that it wanted to attack Ukraine.

On 14 February 2022, Johnson warned an invasion of Ukraine could take place within 48 hours.

On 20 February 2022, Johnson warned that Russia is planning the ‘biggest war in Europe since 1945’ as Putin intends to invade and encircle the capital of Kyiv.

On 21 February 2022, Johnson condemned Russia’s diplomatic recognition of two self-proclaimed separatist republics in Donbas.

Johnson condemned the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and ensured the UK joined in international sanctions on Russian banks and oligarchs.

He later announced the UK would phase out Russian oil by the end of 2022.

On 9 April 2022, Johnson traveled to Kyiv and met the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

On 16 April 2022, Russia’s Ministry for Foreign Affairs banned Johnson and several senior British politicians, including cabinet members, from visiting Russia, saying that Britain aimed to isolate Russia politically and supply ‘the Kyiv regime with lethal weapons and coordinating similar efforts on the part of NATO’.

Within Ukraine, Johnson is praised by many as a supporter of anti-Russian sanctions and military aid for Ukraine. Defense secretary Ben Wallace said on 25 April that the UK had provided £200m in military aid to Ukraine.

On 3 May, Johnson virtually addressed the Ukrainian parliament, becoming the first world leader to speak in Ukraine since the invasion.

In his speech, he pledged an extra £300m in military aid to Ukraine, praised Ukraine’s resistance to Russia as its ‘finest hour’, and said that the West had been ‘too slow to grasp what was happening’ before Russia’s invasion.
