Theresa May on course to be next U.K. Prime minister after only rival quits race

Lawmakers from the party last week chose Home Secretary Theresa May and Leadsom as the final two candidates to succeed Prime Minister David Cameron, who announced his resignation after the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union in a referendum on June 23.

Yeah, this is quite the shocker after she said she wouldn't call elections. I'm not sure why she's doing this… probably to strengthen her hand if she wins big but there could be other things afoot.
