Former Prime Minister expresses gratitude for 27 years of service
Theresa May has announced that she will not be seeking re-election as a Member of Parliament at the next General Election. The former Prime Minister shared with her Maidenhead constituency that it has been an "honour and a privilege to serve."
Focus on Causes Close to Her Heart
Mrs. May expressed her desire to concentrate on important causes such as the Global Commission on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking, which have been increasingly demanding her time. After thoughtful consideration, she realized that she would not be able to fulfill her duties as an MP in the manner she believes is right and what her constituents deserve.
Legacy of Service
Having served as Home Secretary and Prime Minister, Mrs. May acknowledged the vital role her constituents played in her political career. She expressed gratitude for the support she received from the people of Maidenhead, the constituency she proudly called home.
Challenges During Prime Ministership
During her tenure as Prime Minister from 2016 to 2019, Mrs. May faced challenges such as losing her majority in a snap election and difficulties passing her Brexit deal through parliament. Despite these obstacles, she described her time in office as "the honour of my life."
Rising Number of MPs Retiring
As Mrs. May joins the list of MPs not seeking re-election, nearly 100 politicians, including 64 Conservatives and former Conservatives, have announced their retirement from Parliament. This marks the highest number of MPs stepping down since Mrs. May first entered the Commons in 1997.
It's a significant moment in British politics as a seasoned politician like Theresa May prepares to bid farewell to her role as an MP, leaving behind a legacy of service and dedication.
