Meet David Cameron, The Former UK PM Who Returns To Politics As New Foreign Secretary

LONDON: In a surprising turn of events, former UK Prime Minister David Cameron has made a political comeback, taking on the role of the new UK Foreign Secretary. This move, orchestrated by current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, showcases his willingness to take risks in a bid to reinvigorate his political fortunes.

David Cameron, a seasoned politician and former Conservative Party leader, served as the UK Prime Minister from 2010 to 2016. A graduate of Eton College and Oxford University, he was tasked with modernizing the Conservative Party and led it to victory in two general elections.

One of Cameron's defining moments was his decision to hold a referendum on Brexit, despite his personal opposition. The subsequent vote, with 52% opting to leave the EU, led to Cameron's resignation as Prime Minister. This historic event marked a significant turning point in UK politics.

After the referendum’s results, Cameron resigned as the PM. Announcing his resignation in an emotional speech following the result of a historic referendum, Cameron said that he accepted and respected the will of the people, but said that the country needed a new PM. While assuring people that he will ‘try to steady this ship’, he famously said that it would not be ‘right for me to be the captain who steers the country to its next destination.’
