The British Prime Minister will push for an election for a third time in the coming days, telling reporters on Thursday that parliament must agree to an election in mid-December.
The prime minister will need to win the backing of two-thirds of MPs to get the motion through Parliament. He said that if MPs agree to an election on December 12, then Parliament will be dissolved on November 6.
Opposition parties have so far refused to agree to an election until the government can remove the threat of a no-deal Brexit.
Speaking after reports of the new election motion emerged on Thursday, Johnson said Parliament would have enough time to study the Brexit Bill before dissolving for an election, adding that it would be morally incredible for Labour to refuse an election at this point.
Johnson has said it’s likely the EU will offer a new Brexit delay up to the end of January 2020, but that it could offer a shorter one of November 15 or 30.
