UK Prime Minister David Cameron has announced Cabinet posts after his Conservative Party won the national election.
Cameron has reappointed four of his most senior ministers. George Osborne remains Chancellor of the Exchequer; Theresa May and Philip Hammond were reappointed to the other great offices of state, respectively home secretary and foreign secretary, while Michael Fallon has been confirmed as defence secretary.
Michael Fallon has been defence minister since July last year. The announcement came after Cameron also re-appointed George Osborne as finance minister, Theresa May as interior minister and Philip Hammond as foreign minister.
David Cameron reappointed George Osborne as his finance minister and gave him a bigger cabinet role after Britain's economic recovery helped their party to an unexpectedly big election victory.
Osborne will have a freer hand in his purge of Britain's public finances after the Conservative Party won an outright majority on Thursday, meaning it no longer has to seek consensus with its former Liberal Democrat coalition partners.
Philip Hammond, who had been in the role of foreign minister since July last year, will likely play a key part in Cameron's plans to renegotiate Britain's ties with the European Union ahead of a membership referendum by the end of 2017.
Theresa May who has been as reappointed as interior minister served in the post of Home Secretary throughout the Conservatives' five-year term in office from 2010-2015. Cameron is expected to announce further cabinet appointments on Friday.
Conservatives have secured enough seats to form a government, with returns on Friday backing an exit poll's prediction that Prime Minister David Cameron would remain in 10 Downing Street.
