Johnson's political career is marked by electoral success: he won two London mayoral elections, retained his parliamentary seat multiple times, and led the Conservatives to their largest majority since 1987 in the 2019 general election. He oversaw the UK's departure from the EU, a historic achievement for the Leave campaign he led. His mayoralty delivered the 2012 Olympics and the cycle hire scheme. He was named one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People in 2020.
