The British Prime Minister, David Cameron, is billed to chair his final cabinet meeting on Tuesday as Theresa May gets set to take over.
Mrs May had been expecting a nine-week conservative leadership race, but her rival, Andrea Leadsom, withdrew on Monday.
David Cameron, who is to tender his resignation to the Queen on Wednesday, leaving Theresa May, home secretary since 2010, to appoint her own ministerial team.
Theresa May said she is “honoured and humbled” to be taking over and pledged to make a success of the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union.
Mrs Leadsom’s surprise announcement left Mrs May, who had been the front runner, as the only remaining candidate to take over the leadership of the Conservative Party and, therefore, also become prime minister.
