British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday he would run in the next election and could not think of any circumstances under which he would resign.

Opposition parties and some lawmakers from Johnson’s own Conservative Party said the prime minister should resign after police fined him for violating his own strict Covid-19 lockdown rules.

Johnson apologized to parliament on Tuesday and said he was unaware that a meeting to celebrate his birthday in his Downing Street office was against the rules.

Opponents say he repeatedly lied to parliament last year when he said all guidelines had been followed.

Asked by journalists whether he would run in the next election while flying to India, Johnson replied, “Of course.”

When asked if he saw a situation where he could resign, he replied, “Not much comes to mind at the moment.”

Johnson said the time has come to focus on other pressing international and local issues.

“The best thing we can do is focus on the things that can really change and improve the lives of voters and stop talking about politicians,” he told reporters.

Lawmakers will vote on a motion presented by the opposition Labor Party on Thursday, which, if passed, would refer it to Parliament’s Privileges Committee to consider whether Johnson’s conduct constituted disrespect for the House of Commons.

However, the government is trying to delay the decision until the police investigation into the curfew violations is complete and a long-awaited senior public official report on the matter is released.
