A hugely contentious figure accused of sexism, racism and homophobia, Johnson has vowed to take the U.K. out of the European Union on Oct. 31.
Former London mayor and British foreign secretary Boris Johnson will become prime minister, taking over from Theresa May who announced in May that she would resign after less three years in power and following intense pressure from within the ruling Conservative Party.
One of the most contentious figures in current British politics, Johnson was arguably the most prominent name behind the successful campaign to leave the European Union and has since argued that the U.K. should exit the EU even without a deal in place, a move many experts have labeled as economically catastrophic. His leadership campaign was based around a promise to leave the EU on Oct. 31.
