Post Johnson's resignation a by-election for Uxbridge and South Ruislip in Greater London, the seat Johnson won in 2015 and 2019, is triggered immediately.
Johnson has earlier accepted that he did mislead Parliament about the parties, but he insisted that he did not do so deliberately.
British media were reporting that the Committee has likely recommended Johnson’s suspension from Parliament for a period longer than 10 days.
On April 21 last year, the House of Commons passed a motion calling for Johnson to be investigated by the committee for having misled the House in his statements.
Johnson in a statement said the committee, was a “kangaroo court” bent on finding him “guilty, regardless of facts”, and claimed its chairwoman, Harriet Harman, of being biased.
Johnson resigned after accusing the ongoing Commons Privileges Committee investigation into him, about misleading Parliament over the partygate scandal, of egregious bias.
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has resigned from his seat. The sudden decision was announced early on Saturday, June 10.
