(ANSA) - LONDON, JUN 06 - Boris Johnson snatched the renewal of the secret ballot consultation on his leadership within the Conservative Party (on which the British Prime Minister's chair depends) triggered by the revolt of a part of the majority group following the Partygate scandal .
The result, announced by the chairman of the 1922 Committee, the internal body in charge of overseeing the accounts in the Tory house, sanctioned 211 votes in favor of BoJo, but 148 against: a rift that weakens him and could not be enough to secure him in the near future. .
The majority request was 180. (ANSA).
