David Cameron will run for Parliament again in 2010 after stepping down as Prime Minister

David Cameron has announced that he plans to remain in Parliament after standing down as Prime Minister.

He will run in the 2010 election to keep his seat as the Conservative MP for Witney, even if it is as a backbencher.

“I love being MP for Witney and am very keen to continue. I draw huge strength from being a Member of Parliament in Oxfordshire," he told BBC Oxford.

Mr Cameron previously said that this would be his final term in Number 10 and he will not attempt to lead the Conservatives after the next election.
