UK Former PM Cameron Appointed as Foreign Secretary

UK’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has appointed former Prime Minister David Cameron as the new Foreign Secretary as part of a cabinet reshuffle.

This unexpected development comes as Sunak restructures his team ahead of the anticipated general elections next year.

David Cameron, who served as Prime Minister from 2010 to 2016, is making a comeback to frontline politics, taking on the role of Foreign Secretary.

This appointment is one of several changes being made to Sunak's team, including the replacement of the controversial Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, with James Cleverly.

Rishi Sunak had been under increasing pressure to dismiss Suella Braverman amid accusations that her tenure had exacerbated tensions during weeks of pro-Palestinian protests and counter-protests in the UK.

Sunak had appointed Braverman to the position of Home Secretary after assuming office just over a year ago.

The Conservative Party, currently in power, announced the cabinet reshuffle, which includes major portfolios, for the first time since the formation of the current government on October 25, 2022.

David Cameron's return to the political arena marks a significant moment in British politics.

As Foreign Secretary, he will play a key role in shaping the country's foreign policy, handling international relations, and representing the United Kingdom on the global stage.
