The Boris Johnson I cabinet was the government of the United Kingdom from July 24, 2019 to December 13, 2019 . After Theresa May's resignation, Boris Johnson was initially elected party leader by the Conservative Party and subsequently appointed Prime Minister by the Queen. The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) announced that it wants to comply with the support agreement to maintain the minority government , which also continues under Boris Johnson. Johnson replaced about half of the May II cabinet members .

Johnson's cabinet relied on a two-seat majority in the House of Commons for a few days . In a by-election to the House of Commons in the constituency of Brecon and Radnorshire (Wales) on August 1, 2019, candidate Jane Dodds of the pro-European Liberal Democrats won; since then the majority of Johnson's had only one seat.

On September 3, 2019, during the House of Commons debate, MP Phillip Lee switched from the Conservative Party to the Liberal Democrats, and since then the Johnson government has not had an arithmetical majority until the parliamentary elections on December 12, 2019.
