British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced his resignation on Thursday.A series of political scandals led to Johnson losing the support of numerous government ministers and members of his Conservative Party.Johnson said he will remain in office until his replacement is found.But his resignation as leader of the Conservative Party is immediate."Today I have appointed a cabinet to serve, as I will, until a new leader is in place," Johnson said."I know that there will be many people who are relieved and perhaps quite a few who will also be disappointed."Johnson added: "I want you to know how sad I am to be giving up the best job in the world. But them's the breaks."The 58-year-old Johnson came to power almost three years ago.At the time, he promised voters he would effectively guide Britain through its withdrawal from the European Union, a process known as "Brexit."Britain voted to leave the EU in a special election in 2016.
