Boris Johnson calls on opposition Party to back early U.K. election – By OAN Newsroom (OANN) / Oct 26 2019
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is urging the opposition party to back early general elections on December 12th. His Friday comments came after the EU granted another Brexit delay without specifying the length of the extension.
Johnson claimed the U.K. could still leave the bloc on October 31st, but said it is now up to the EU to decide the fate of Brexit.
“We could leave on October the 31st – unfortunately, it depends on what the EU says,” said Johnson. “Under the terms of the Surrender Act that was passed by Parliament, it is up to the EU to decide whether or not we stay.”
Recent reports said Johnson wants to hold early elections in hopes of ending the Brexit turmoil. This coming Monday, he plans to ask lawmakers to approve the vote for December 12th.
