British Prime Minister Theresa May has won a vote of confidence in her leadership.

The result of the Conservative MPs votes was 200-117.

At a closed meeting with Conservative MPs before they were due to decide her fate, May announced she would not take the party into the next election due four years from now.

"She did say she wouldn't be fighting the next general election," Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd told reporters.

Less than four months before Britain is due to leave the EU on March 29, the country's exit is in chaos.
