Grant Shapps, Welwyn Hatfield MP and former Conservative Party chairman, had backed the Remain campaign.
Following Prime Minister David Cameron's resignation announcement, Mr Shapps said: "I texted him this morning to say I hoped he wouldn't resign immediately and the country needs stability.
"I think he's probably met that halfway by saying 'I'm not going now - I'm going to see us through this immediate turmoil', but by October I think a new leader needs to be in place.
"I think he's judged that about right."
Charles Walker, Conservative MP for Broxbourne, backed the Leave vote.
"I'm sorry David Cameron has made that decision," he said.
"I'm surprised as I genuinely thought he would stay on and see it through."
