His resignation as MP will pave way for a by-election in his Oxfordshire seat of Witney.
“I fully support Theresa May and have every confidence that Britain will thrive under her strong leadership”.
FORMER BRITISH PRIME Minister David Cameron is stepping down as a Member of Parliament at Westminster, effectively ending his political career.
Following his resignation as Prime Minister, Cameron still held a seat for the Tory party in the House of Commons representing Witney. Cameron also insisted he would not quit as PM should he lose the European Union referendum.
He backed Britain remaining in the bloc throughout the Brexit campaign and issued a series of doom-mongering warnings about pulling out of the EU. His announcement, made in an interview, is a reversal of previous statements by the former prime minister.
“I will give the Conservative candidate my full support”.
“I will continue to support the local causes and charities that mean so much to me and many others in this handsome and enterprising part of our country”.
According to BBC News, Cameron had previously indicated he would retain the seat until the next general election in 2020. I hope I’ll continue to contribute in terms of public service and of course contribute to this country I love so much.
