British Prime Minister David Cameron will resign today as British Home Secretary Theresa May is set to take over the post. She will be the first female prime minister since Margaret Thatcher.
After failing to convince UK to remain in the European Union (EU) in a historic referendum, PM Cameron had announced in June that he will resign from his post by October.
Energy Minister Andrea Leadsom, May’s only remaining rival, pulled out of the PM race after courting controversy over comments she made about motherhood and leadership.

“Obviously, with these changes, we now don’t need to have a prolonged period of transition. And so tomorrow I will chair my last cabinet meeting. On Wednesday I will attend the House of Commons for prime minister’s questions. And then after that I expect to go to the palace and offer my resignation,” Cameron said.
Meanwhile, Theresa May reiterated her commitment to Brexit when she categorically said, “Brexit means Brexit, and we’re going to make a success of it. There will be no attempts to remain inside the EU. No attempts to rejoin it by the back door. No second referendum. The country voted to leave the European Union, and as prime minister, I will make sure we leave the European Union.”
