This study aims to dissect the image formed by Boris Johnson in his resignation speech as British Prime Minister. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with Critical Discourse Analysis by Norman Fairclough. Analysis at the micro level using transitivity suggests that Boris Johnson mostly uses mental processes, especially in the process of desirability. The data finds that there are 11 uses of modality such as 'should', 'will', and 'can'. This data mostly shows the probability that the former prime minister suggests when dealing with the future programs that will be conducted without his concern any longer. Among 73 data points of pronouns, the pronoun 'I' dominates the content of the speech, followed by the pronouns' we' and 'our', which have 12 data points each. The pronoun 'I' indicates the unmarked theme (subject/theme) in a declarative clause to only concern the former prime minister himself. Socially, situationally, and institutionally, it can be seen that Boris Johnson received pressure to step down from his position. Based on the discussion, it can be concluded that Boris Johnson wants to build an image that he is a strong leader, a successful leader, wants the best for the United Kingdom, and is still willing to contribute even after he is no longer in office. Further research can be carried out, especially in terms of research on the resignation speeches of world leaders.
