Former UK Prime Minister Theresa May will step down as an MP after 27 years, focusing on causes like the Global Commission on Modern Slavery. May, elected in 1997, cited increasing commitments to these causes, realizing she can't fulfill her MP duties adequately. Known for her work against modern slavery, she launched the global commission in 2023. May served as home secretary and then prime minister, facing challenges like Brexit turmoil. She plans to work with her successor for a Conservative victory in Maidenhead and thanked constituents. Nearly 100 MPs, including 64 Tories, won't contest the upcoming election.
