British Prime Minister David Cameron on Monday (June 27) held his first cabinet meeting since the country's decision to leave the European Union. <br /> <br />Cameron announced on Friday (June 24) that he would step down as prime minister by October after voters in the referendum took the historic decision to back the "Leave" campaign which was led by former London mayor Boris Johnson, and cabinet member Justice Secretary Michael Gove. Cameron had urged voters to stay in the bloc. <br /> <br />Johnson is seen as the frontrunner to replace his schoolmate and once close friend Cameron, who announced he would resign after the British public voted against him by backing Brexit. <br /> <br />British newspaper The Sunday Times said on Friday that Home Secretary Theresa May was expected to enter the leadership contest and was likely to get support from allies of Cameron who see her as the best candidate to take on Johnson.
