Kemi Badenoch (44) has won the battle to become the new leader of the Conservative Party in Great Britain, Reuters and the British media write. She won the majority of votes in the party, beating Robert Jenrich. The party lost power this summer, after the election defeat against Labor and Keir Starmer. Rishi Sunak then chose to step down as prime minister and step down as party leader. Badenoch now promises to win back the British electorate. She says that the party has made its mistakes and that it is time for a new start. The 44-year-old, who will be the fourth female leader of the Conservatives, has had several roles in the party. Among other things, she was a minister between 2022 and 2024, first as minister for equality and later as minister for trade. Badenoch was born in London and grew up in Nigeria. At 16, she went back to England to study. Before entering politics, she worked in IT and the banking industry, according to the BBC.
