Kemi Badenoch or Robert Jenrick will be crowned as the new Conservative Party leader on Saturday, as the four-month-long race to replace Rishi Sunak reaches the finish line. The result of the leadership ballot is expected to be announced late in the morning, with the members’ ballot having closed on Thursday.

Britain’s humbled Conservative Party elected Kemi Badenoch as its new leader on Saturday, turning to a right-wing favorite who has railed against identity politics, transgender rights and state spending to rebuild its reputation after a devastating election defeat.

Britain’s Conservative Party on Saturday (November 2) named Kemi Badenoch, 44, its new chief, making her the first black politician — and black woman politician — to lead a major British party. She replaced Rishi Sunak and took over the beleaguered party after it lost the general election earlier this year.
