In a latest twist in the developments towards the election of the next Britain Prime Minister after David Cameron had quit after the result of 'Brexit', Britain is left with just one candidate for the position of the Prime Minister. Energy minister Andrea Leadsom abruptly withdrew from the contest to succeed David Cameron as Britain's prime minister on Monday, leaving her rival Theresa May as the only candidate. Mrs Leadsom said, "The best interests of our country inspired me to stand for the leadership. I believe that in leaving the EU a bright future awaits, where all our people can share in a new prosperity, freedom and democracy."
The two women had been due to contest a ballot of around 150,000 Conservative party members, with the result to be declared by Sept. 9, but the shock announcement would pave the way for May to become the next Prime Minister sooner than expected. May, 59, who has served as interior minister for the past six years, is now set to become Britain's second female prime minister after Margaret Thatcher. May favoured the 'Remain' side during last month's referendum campaign.
