On 24 June 2016, following a vote in a referendum to leave the European Union,[3] Cameron announced that he would step down before the October 2016 Conservative Party Conference to make way for a new Prime Minister.[3][4] After Theresa May became the only candidate in the elections, she became the designated Prime Minister. Cameron later announced he would resign on 13 July and was replaced by May.[5]
