Rt Hon Boris Johnson served as prime minister of the United Kingdom, leader of the Conservative Party, foreign secretary and mayor of London. He became prime minister in 2019 and led the Conservative Party to its largest House of Commons majority since 1987. His government delivered Brexit, ending years of political deadlock following the 2016 referendum, and pursued domestic reforms focused on infrastructure, education, technology and reducing regional economic disparities.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Johnson led the UK’s response, overseeing the country’s vaccine development and rollout, including the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, and the reopening of the economy. He was also a prominent international supporter of Ukraine following Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022. During his tenure, the UK hosted COP26 and helped establish the Glasgow Climate Pact.
Johnson entered Parliament in 2001 and served two terms as mayor of London, overseeing the 2012 Olympic Games and initiatives including the Routemaster bus and cycle-hire scheme. He is also an award-winning journalist and author of several books including The Churchill Factor and Unleashed.
