American-born Johnson, 55, who enjoys a good relationship with President Donald Trump, becomes Britain's 14th prime minister to serve under the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
He will be the third leader from the United Kingdom's Conservative Party, including David Cameron – who called 2016's controversial referendum on EU membership – charged with making sure that Brexit takes place.
In a brief address, Johnson said he would "deliver Brexit" and "unite the country."
Johnson won about two-thirds of eligible votes in a weeks-long contest decided by an internal party vote by approximately 160,000 Conservative Party members after May stepped down over her handling of Brexit. Britain elects a party, not a leader, meaning the ruling party can change its leader and still remain the government of the day.

+Lets see how he will deliver Brexit...Wish him luck!!!
all the best.
ReplyDeleteBrexit has become the albatross of any conservative British prime minister.
DeleteLet's pray Boris is luckier than the others.
Congrats to him. I hope he really delivers cos he was the chairman of the Brexit in the first place. It’s easier said than done. Let us see if he will deliver by October deadline.
ReplyDeleteWe don enter one chance in this UK with this buffoon. God help us!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking he will be better with regards to immigration.
DeleteHe will be worse with regards to immigration. He is a known racist.
Deletewho doesnt know boris as a racist...to think gullible naijas in the UK were happy.. forgetting their citizenship could be revoked...mtcheww
DeleteAnon21:37 Why would their citizenship be revoked when they have not committed any heinous crime?
Deleteyou think changes concerning citizenship cannot bring about a revoke??? Its not news many got it through you know how...
Deleteso for no reason PM will just revoke citizenship ..stop it abeg..he doesn't have such powers ...i hope he does well
DeleteCongrats to him. I hope he really delivers cos he was the chairman of the Brexit in the first place. It’s easier said than done. Let us see if he will deliver by October deadline.
ReplyDeleteI wish him luck too because I believe he will be able to give Britains their exit from the European Union.
ReplyDeleteAnd after he does, things are never going to remain the same again in Europe.
you mean in the UK..leave EU out of it..
DeleteMs. A!
DeleteHow do you mean things are never going to be the same in Europa again, because one country leaves the EU? A union of 27 very strong countries some with the world's biggest economies?
Now I see why you are constantly bashed by other commenters.
Receive sense and educate yourself!
At anonymous 12:44, sadly Europe isn't equal. The EU was a project unearthed by Margaret Thatcher to be Germans tool to take control of Europe. Minust Germany, France, Holland and the Scandinavian countries, Europe is a mess. Is it Italy that most of it can't compare to parts of Lagos, or Portugal where you'll be shocked at its system minus the topography of some of these nations which have beautiful landscapes which came with nature, they are very horrible, and I know as I've travelled. I met a few Nigerians in Italy and they wanted to head to the UK. The UK is the second largest economy in the EU and provides employment for majority of the youths from Portugal, Italy, Spain, Bulgaria etc etc. The EU will be affected.
DeleteCongratulations Mr Boris!
ReplyDeleteCongrats...We are watching.Maintains a good relationship with Trump is not a yardstick in delivering Brexit. Ndibe Eliza ndi oke amamife.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to him

DeleteHe will surely deliver cuz he has been so brave
ReplyDeleteStella that guy is racist. Just like trump
ReplyDeleteGo back to your country and helped develop it and stop calling everyone that does not agree with external infiltration into their countries racist. If they had run away from developing theirs, would you have been in there now or even scared of leaving?
ReplyDeleteYou dey mind them? They have no clue what it takes to build and maintain acivilization, yet they feel entitled to lecture others who have done so successfully.
DeleteNobody owes you anything. If it's so easy and simple, build Naija na. One even said some people might lose their citizenship cos they got it anyhow. So fucking entitled. They want to spoil oyiboland with their fufu mentality.
