The Conservative party of British Prime Minister on Friday lost two by-elections. The results come as a blow to Johnson who recently survived an attempt by the legislators of this party to overthrow him.

Boris Johnson's popularity among voters thus appears to have suffered serious setbacks over the so-called partygate scandals of holding drink parties at 10 Downing Street official residence disregarding Covid-19 restrictions.

The defeats include in one previously considered safe Conservate seat in southern England, according to reports in the international media.
