<h5>Who is a Prime Minister?</h5>  <p>In our lives, we need people to guide us. These people tell us what is right and what is wrong. Usually, these people are our parents, teachers, etc. Similarly, a country also needs people who can guide it and keep it on the right path.
The people who guide a country and make decisions for it are collectively known as the government. The government makes laws and rules on every aspect of our lives. However, even a government needs a leader who can guide it. 
In many countries, a person who is the leader of the government is called the Prime Minister (PM). The PM is responsible for every decision made by the government. All the other ministers report to the PM. For example, Narendra Modi, the PM of India, is the head of the Indian government.
Recently, Boris Johnson, the PM of the United Kingdom (UK), resigned. Let’s find out who Boris Johnson is and why he decided to leave.</p> <h5>Who is Boris Johnson?</h5>  <p>Boris Johnson is a politician from the UK. He has been serving as the PM of the UK since 2019.

<p>His time as the PM was tumultuous. He and his government have been involved in many controversies. Many have criticised him for his lack of leadership skills.

At that time, such gatherings were declared illegal by Johnson’s government.
