Douglas-Home was a Lord when he became PM but he wasn't while he ran for MP which seems similar to me to Johnson loosing his seat while PM and having to find another. I suppose Douglas-Home wasn't rejected by the (local) electorate in the same way.
You can’t be nominated as a candidate to be an MP whilst you are a serving member of the House of Lords.
