TL;DR Summary

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faces a challenging vote to fill a vacant seat in parliament after lawmaker Chris Pincher, who was suspended for groping two men at a London club, announced his resignation. Pincher's departure comes more than a year after he was suspended from the ruling Conservative Party. The vote to replace him coincides with a by-election to replace former culture minister Nadine Dorries, adding pressure on Sunak as his party trails behind the opposition Labour Party in opinion polls.
