Politicians and organisations in Northern Ireland have been reacting to Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s resignation as leader of the Conservative Party.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

He hopes to remain prime minister until autumn on an interim basis while a successor is appointed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mr Johnson said it is “clearly now the will” of Conservative MPs that there should be a new leader.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, a growing number of Tory MPs say he has to leave No 10 now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The prime minister’s resignation comes with Northern Ireland facing a number of ongoing issues, including legislation regarding overriding the Northern Ireland Protocol part of the Brexit deal, a controversial bill on legacy cases from the Troubles and the ongoing impasse over forming a power-sharing government. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
