British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has failed in his bid to call a snap October 15 election, after MPs earlier stopped him from sending the UK crashing out of the European Union with a "no-deal" Brexit.
After wresting control of the parliamentary agenda from Mr Johnson six weeks into his premiership, the House of Commons voted 327-299 to approve a bill that would force him to seek a further delay to Brexit rather than leave the EU without an agreement on the scheduled departure date of October 31.
Mr Johnson then sought an early poll, but was again thwarted by the Opposition, which abstained from the vote to ensure it did not meet the threshold of two-thirds of MPs required for the Prime Minister's bill to succeed.
