Cabinet Minister Michael Gove has announced his resignation as a Member of Parliament, becoming part of a significant departure of almost 80 Tories ahead of the UK's July 4 general election. Gove, a key Brexit-backer, expressed support for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak but emphasized the need for a new generation of leaders. His departure adds pressure on Sunak and the ruling Conservatives as they strive to close the gap in polls against the opposition Labour Party. The exodus of Conservative MPs ahead of the election is seen as a challenge, with concerns that safe Tory strongholds may be at risk.
