Boris Johnson could face byelection if inquiry finds he misled MPs over Partygate

Recall Act could be triggered with Johnson at risk of losing Uxbridge seat, HoC committee report suggests

Boris Johnson could be forced to face a byelection in his Uxbridge constituency if he is found to have misled MPs over Partygate, a report from the House of Commons privileges committee has made clear.

Despite having resigned as Conservative leader, Johnson still faces a parliamentary probe over whether he misled MPs when he told them repeatedly that all guidance was followed" in Downing Street during the pandemic - something subsequently proved to be untrue.
