British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday lost his bid to push through a vote in favour of a December 12 snap general election after MPs voted against the motion. The development came after the European Union (EU) earlier agreed to offer the UK a three-month extension to the Brexit deadline, until January 31 next year, which Johnson then formally accepted by informing the British Parliament.
