Party lost control of historic strongholds in London and suffered losses
elsewhere in local elections, early results on Friday showed, as voters
punished his government over a string of scandals.
color:#757575">Johnson's party was defeated in Wandsworth, a low-tax
Conservative stronghold since 1978, part of a trend in the British capital
where voters used the elections to vent their frustrations over a rising cost
of living and fines imposed on the prime minister for violating his own
COVID-19 lockdown rules.

which they had held since 1964 in all but two elections. Labour also believes
it has won the Westminster council for the first time, a district that houses
the majority of government institutions.

color:#424242">The aggregate result, which will be released later on Friday,
will provide the most important snapshot of public sentiment since Johnson
secured the Conservative Party's largest majority in over 30 years in the 2019
general election.

British politician in living memory to break the law while in office. He was
punished last month for attending a birthday party in his office in 2020, in
violation of social distancing restrictions in force at the time to prevent the
spread of COVID.

lost 92 council seats. The main opposition Labour Party won 23 seats, while the
Liberal Democrats won 42.

color:black">The loss of crucial London councils, where the Conservatives were
nearly wiped out, will add to the pressure on Johnson, who has been fighting
for his political life for months and faces the prospect of more police fines
for his presence at other lockdown-breaking meetings.

7,000 council seats will be decided in Thursday's elections, including all of
those in London, Scotland, and Wales, as well as a third of those in the rest
of England.

mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;color:#222222">In
the 2019 general election, Johnson defied conventional British politics by
winning and vowing to raise living standards in former industrial areas of
central and northern England.
mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;color:#222222">
mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;color:#222222">However,
the loss of Wandsworth, Barnet, and possibly Westminster symbolises how
Johnson, who served as mayor of London for two terms, has lost his appeal in
the city. His support for Brexit has cost him support in London, where the
majority of voters in the 2016 Brexit referendum voted to remain in the
European Union.
