British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government "survived" last night a vote of confidence that it called itself.
Members of the ruling Conservative Party supported the ministers in order to avoid calling elections, Reuters reported.
The opposition Labor Party has called for Johnson, who has said he will step down, to be immediately replaced as interim leader until the Conservative Party chooses his successor in early September.
Labor pushed for a vote of confidence in both the government and Johnson to try to oust him as soon as possible, but the government objected, saying it was unnecessary because the prime minister had already said he would leave, according to Reuters.
The conservatives instead proposed a vote of confidence in the government, which "survived" with 349 votes "for" and 238 votes "against", reports Tanjug.
