Kemi Badenoch is the new leader of the UK Conservative Party, defeating Robert Jenrick in the final round of voting.

She now leads the main opposition party against Keir Starmer’s Labour government.

She takes over from Rishi Sunak, who led the Conservatives to their worst ever election defeat in July.

During her campaign, Badenoch vowed to return the Conservatives to “first principles” and launch a series of reviews in the coming months to shape a new policy platform.
