Kwasi Kwarteng Announces Departure from Parliament at Next Election

The former chancellor's decision follows a tumultuous term marked by economic turmoil under Liz Truss's short-lived government.

Kwasi Kwarteng, former chancellor under Liz Truss, will not seek re-election as MP for Spelthorne.
His tenure as chancellor was marred by a 'mini-budget' that led to economic instability and his subsequent dismissal.
Kwarteng's departure is part of a broader trend of Conservative MPs stepping down ahead of the next general election.
Despite the controversy, Kwarteng has been involved in various roles within Conservative governments since 2015.
Liz Truss continues to promote her economic agenda through the new Popular Conservatism group.
