British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is under pressure to vacate Downing Street immediately as he resigned from the UK’s top office on Thursday.

Announcing his resignation in front of Number 10 Downing Street at 12:30 p.m. local time, Johnson vowed to stay in office until a new Conservative party leader is elected, as resigning prime ministers usually do.
