Justice minister Michael Gove called Johnson by telephone yesterday to say he would back him for the leadership of the ruling Conservative Party, the Sunday Times said.
Cameron announced on Friday that he would step down as prime minister by October after voters in the referendum took the historic decision to back the "Leave" campaign which was led by Johnson and Gove. Cameron had urged voters to stay in the bloc.
