BRITISH-NIGERIAN KEMI BADENOCH EMERGES AS LEADER OF UK CONSERVATIVE PARTY
Former British Business Secretary, Kemi Badenoch, has been named the new leader of the Conservative Party.
This follows her victory over Robert Jenrick in the final round of voting.
Badenoch, who was raised in Nigeria, has now become the first black woman to lead a major political party in the United Kingdom.
With 53,806 votes to Jenrick’s 41,388 votes, the 44-year-old succeeds Rishi Sunak as the opposition’s leader.
On Saturday morning, the party announced the outcome.
In order to create a new policy platform, Badenoch pledged throughout her campaign to bring the Conservatives back to “first principles” and begin a number of reviews in the upcoming months.
