Boris Johnson has been announced as the new prime minister
of the UK. Around 160,000 Conservative Party members could vote for who they
wanted to win in the race to replace Theresa May.
Theresa May announced she was leaving the job on 7 June
after failing to get Parliament to agree on a way that Brexit should be carried
out.
Several Conservative MPs put their name forward for the job
- but the two candidates in the final race to the finish were Boris Johnson and
Jeremy Hunt.
Not everyone who could vote did. Some of the votes were not
counted because they were spoilt. Of those eligible votes, Boris Johnson won
92,153. Jeremy Hunt collected 46656 votes.
