The Conservative Party on Saturday elected Kemi Badenoch as its new leader as leader of the opposition in Britain. Kemi Badenoch, 44, is of Nigerian origin. He will now represent the opposition in the House of Commons of the British Parliament. He has been chosen as the successor to former party leader Rishi Sunak.
In the election for this Conservative Party seat, Kemi Badenoch defeated former cabinet minister Robert Jenrick. This election lasted three months. The elections were triggered after the Conservative Party’s crushing defeat in the general election held on July 4. This election was held after the resignation of Rishi Sunak, in which the party was searching for its new leader.
By reaching this position, Kemi Badenoch has become the leader of the Conservative Party. Following this success, he thanked his predecessor Rishi Sunak, saying: “I want to thank Rishi who worked so hard in difficult times.” Rishi, thank you for everything you did. We all wish a bright future for you and your family.
Kemi Badenoch has been Shadow Secretary for Housing, Communities and Local Government. He has now assumed the leading role of the party. This victory is a historic occasion not only for him but also for the Conservative Party.
