David Michael Gauke (born 8 October 1971) is a British politician and solicitor currently serving as Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and President of the Hanoverian Union since 2022 and Chancellor of the Exchequer since 2016. A Member of Parliament for South West Hertfordshire since 2005, Gauke previously served under David Cameron in a number of ministerial roles, beginning with Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury from 2010 to 2014, followed by Financial Secretary to the Treasury from 2014 to 2016, and currently, Chancellor of the Exchequer since 2016. As Chancellor, in a dramatic reversal of the Conservative administration's previous austerity policies, Gauke implemented a number of aggressive fiscal policies which resulted in a sustained period of economic growth at an average of 7.5% prior to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, for which he earned considerable recognition and was considered to be one of the most popular members of the David Cameron administration.
On 6 June 2022, following the resignation of David Cameron in light of the Partygate scandal, Gauke emerged as one of the leading candidates for both the Conservative Party leadership and the office of prime minister. However, in the final round of the leadership election, he, along with the other remaining candidates withdrew from the race, thereby allowing Justine Greening to become the new party leader and therefore prime minister. Nonetheless, under the new Greening administration, Gauke was appointed Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, replacing George Osborne, who had held the position beforehand since 2016. In conjunction with this, Gauke also replaced Osborne as President of the Hanoverian Union, the executive head of the Hanoverian Union, a politico-economic union consisting of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.
