(BBC) The chairman of the Conservative Muslim Forum has told the BBC he will resign his party membership if Boris Johnson wins the leadership race.
Mohammed Amin said the MP was not “sufficiently moral” to be PM.
He criticised Mr Johnson’s comments about burkas and his denial that he had mentioned potential Turkish membership of the EU when campaigning for Brexit.
But MP Priti Patel defended Mr Johnson, who had apologised for any offence caused and had defended women’s rights.
Mr Johnson topped the poll of 10 candidates running to replace Theresa May as party leader and prime minister on Thursday, winning 114 votes — more than a third of all Tory MPs. This [was] more than twice the support for his nearest rival, Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who received 43 votes.
