Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson [1] es un autor, periodista y político británico. Miembro del Partido Conservador, fue alcalde de Londres de 2008 a 2016 y ministro de Asuntos Exteriores del Reino Unido entre 2016 y 2018.
Tras retirar por sorpresa su candidatura para suceder a David Cameron como líder del Partido Conservador y, por consiguiente, para ser el nuevo primer ministro del Reino Unido,[2] el 13 de julio de 2016 fue nombrado secretario de Estado para Relaciones Exteriores y de la Mancomunidad en el primer Gabinete formado por la nueva primera ministra, Theresa May.[3]
