LONDON, June 24 ― British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservative Party was defeated in two parliamentary by-elections today, in a sign of the depth of voter discontent after months of scandals and a growing cost of living crisis.
The centrist Liberal Democrat party won the seat of Tiverton and Honiton, in a deeply Conservative part of southwest England, with a majority of over 6,000, overturning a majority of more than 24,000 that was won by the Conservatives in 2019. “With every day Boris Johnson clings to office, he brings further shame, chaos and neglect.” In the separate parliamentary seat of Wakefield in northern England, the opposition Labour party also defeated the Conservatives.
