13. Theresa May, 51, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party, having served as both since July 2016. She has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Maidenhead since 1997. May identifies as a one-nation conservative and has been characterised as a liberal conservative. She is the second female Prime Minister and Conservative Party leader after Margaret Thatcher. After David Cameron announced his resignation as Prime Minister following the EU referendum, May announced her candidacy for the leadership of the Conservative Party and quickly emerged as the front-runner. She won the first and second ballot of Conservative MPs by a significant margin and was due to face a vote of Conservative Party members in a contest with Andrea Leadsom. Leadsom's withdrawal from the election on 11 July led to May's appointment as party leader the same day. She was appointed Prime Minister on 13 July. As Prime Minister, May's focus has primarily been on withdrawing the UK from the European Union. (Christopher Furlong/Pool via AP)
