UK Prime Minister Theresa May is expected to announce her resignation on Friday in the wake of disagreements with lawmakers over her Brexit plan, local media reported on Thursday.
May presented her new version of the withdrawal deal earlier this week.
The prime minister argued that, if the parliamentarians backed her plan, they would be able to vote on a confirmatory Brexit referendum. May’s move prompted criticism among lawmakers and officials.
May will announce her resignation after a meeting with Graham Brady, the head of the 1922 Committee, the Conservative Party group in the UK House of Commons that oversees the party’s leadership.
Moreover, the House of Commons leader Andrea Leadsom has stepped down over disagreements with May while the opposition called for a snap general election and some of the parliamentarians urged May to resign.
