LONDON, July 11 (Xinhua) -- Britain's Conservative politician Andrea Leadsom on Monday announced withdrawal from the Tory leadership race, saying she will back the only remaining candidate Theresa May to be the next party leader and British prime minister.
In a statement, Leadsom said she had the support of less than 25 percent of the parliamentary party.
That is not enough to run a strong, stable government, she said, adding that the interests of the country are best served by having a strong prime minister.
She also offered her support to the only remaining candidate Theresa May, the Home Secretary and frontrunner in the Tory leadership race.
