#UK: End Of An Era: Former Prime Minister David Cameron Resigns As MP, Triggering By-Election

[world politics news]


Former Prime Minister David Cameron, who retained his seat in parliament after he resigned as PM and head of the party in June, is stepping away from politics to avoid being a "distraction." The resignation triggers a by-election to fill his seat in Oxfordshire. Cameron said he did not want to be a "distraction" for new PM Theresa May, whom he praised. Cameron, 49, has represented the city of Witney since 2001, became Conservative leader in 2005, and prime minister in 2010.
