This tweet is pure speculation, but it got me wondering; I don't know how that works. Would the party have to select a new leader?

Depends on the country, but as far as I know you have to be an MP to be Prime Minister. Tradition has it for parties to not challenge leader-held ridings, so Johnson losing his seat would be shocking.

It would be a bad look though to keep a PM after he was voted out of his seat.
