Former head of diplomacy Boris Johnson, who was announced on Tuesday as the new leader of the Conservative Party, will on Wednesday take over the office of the Prime Minister of Great Britain. He will replace the current PM, Theresa May. Johnson promises completion of the Brexit process, the unification of the country and defeat of Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn. He was the clear favorite of commentators and bookmakers and gained 66.4 percent of votes of Conservative Party members with the turnout having reached 87.4 percent.
