Theresa May, the former British prime minister and once leader of the Conservative Party, announced on Friday her decision to resign as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Maidenhead, a position she has held for the past 27 years.
"I will continue to work hard for all my constituents until the General Election...I remain committed to supporting Rishi Sunak and the Government and believe that the Conservatives can win the election," May wrote in a letter to Maidenhead Advertiser. "Being an MP is about service to one's constituents and I have always done my best to ensure that I respond to the needs of local people and the local area," she added.
The 67-year-old politician stated that she plans to focus on causes "close to her heart," including her work on the Global Commission on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking.
