British Deputy Prime Minister, Dominic Raab, has resigned from the government amid complaints that he bullied colleagues.
In a letter addressed to the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, Raab said he called the inquiry and resolved to leave the government if he is indicted by the panel on the allegation.
Part of the letter read: “I called for the inquiry and undertook to resign if it made any finding of bullying whatsoever. I believe it is important to keep my word.”
The exit of Raab from the government is a major setback for Sunak just two weeks ahead of English local council elections where the ruling Conservatives are predicted to perform badly.
Also, it serves as a great embarrassment as he had entered Downing Street in October promising a government of integrity.
Sunak has accepted Raab’s resignation with deep sadness but added that ministers must uphold the highest of standards.
