Who was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom when Brexit started?

 David Cameron served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from May 2010 to July 2016. He was the leader of the Conservative Party and led a coalition government with the Liberal Democrats during his first term. Cameron played a significant role in initiating the Brexit referendum.


In an attempt to address growing Euroscepticism within his party and across the country, Cameron promised to renegotiate Britain's relationship with the European Union and hold a referendum on EU membership. The renegotiation aimed to secure more favorable terms for the UK within the EU. However, the subsequent "Brexit" referendum, held on June 23, 2016, resulted in 51.9% of voters choosing to leave the European Union.


The outcome of the referendum led to David Cameron's resignation as Prime Minister, as he had been a prominent advocate for remaining in the EU. Theresa May succeeded him as the leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister. Cameron's decision to call the Brexit referendum had far-reaching consequences, reshaping the political landscape in the UK and influencing discussions on the country's relationship with the EU.

Khan, however, is still "disqualified" to hold any public office for five years. The PTI supreme leader, who is now jailed, suffered yet another setback before the Feb 8 polls when the IHC rejected his appeal to have the trial court's ruling in the Toshakhana case suspended. Khan attempted to overturn the conviction in his plea submitted to the IHC, the same court that had halted his sentencing. Khan clai...
