Former British leader David Cameron to leave Parliament

None

Former Prime Minister David Cameron has announced he will step down from his position in Parliament.

 

Cameron's unexpected announcement Monday will trigger a by-election for his seat in Oxfordshire. Cameron had earlier resigned as prime minister after failing to convince British voters in June to remain in the European Union in a referendum.

 

He said at the time he planned to remain in Parliament although he would no longer have a leadership role in the Conservative Party.
