UK: Chairman of ruling party resigns after by-election defeat

This resulted in the resignation of Conservative Party chairman Oliver Dowden.

Specifically, the Conservatives lost their seats representing the Tiverton and Honiton constituencies to representatives of the liberal democratic centrist party.

Meanwhile, labour’s main opposition party regained its seat of the Wakefield constituency in the north of England that had previously fallen to the Conservatives in the 2019 election, when Johnson’s party won convincingly on a pledge to complete the long Brexit process.

This is considered a double shock that increases the pressure on the current British Prime Minister.

The vote was held on June 23 after two Conservative MPs representing the regions resigned over their involvement in scandals uncovered in recent months.

Shortly afterwards, the chairman of the ruling Conservative Party Oliver Dowden announced his resignation, saying someone needed to take responsibility for the result.

In his resignation letter to Johnson, Dowden said the defeat in the June 23 parliamentary elections continued to prolong the party’s poor results.

He expressed sympathy for the party’s supporters but was feeling displeased and frustrated by what had happened in the past.

He insisted the Conservatives could not continue to operate like this and needed someone to take responsibility.

This situation prompted him to come to the decision to resign.

The by-election was held after months of scandal and uncertainty for the Conservatives, seriously undermining Mr Johnson’s credibility.
