U.K. MP Sir Graham Brady is expected to announce the result of the Conservative Party no-confidence vote in Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday after lawmakers questioned the British leader's authority over what has been dubbed the "partygate" scandal.

The results of the vote could oust Johnson from power, as discontent with his rule finally threatens to topple a politician who has often seemed invincible despite many scandals.

If Johnson loses the vote among the 359 Conservative lawmakers, the party will choose a new leader, who will also become prime minister. If he wins, as seems more likely, he can’t face another challenge for a year under current party rules — though a narrow victory would leave him a hobbled leader whose days are likely numbered.

Regardless of the outcome, the fact that enough lawmakers are demanding such a vote represents a watershed moment for Johnson. It is also a sign of deep Conservative divisions, less than three years after Johnson led the party to its biggest election victory in decades.
