LONDON—British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday pledged to refocus his government on tackling voters’ priorities, trying to rally his party behind him following an effort by his fellow Conservative lawmakers to oust him.
On Monday evening, 41% of Conservative lawmakers voted to topple Mr. Johnson in a leadership challenge. The effort failed, but it was a surprisingly large rebellion against a leader who until six months ago was feted as one of the Conservative Party’s most effective political communicators.
