LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Kemi Badenoch is the new leader of the British Conservatives, currently in opposition. She was elected with 53,806 votes, or 72.8 percent. Rival Robert Jenrick stopped at 41,338 preferences. Badenoch, the first black woman to lead a major party in the UK, succeeds Rishi Sunak. “It has not been an easy campaign for all of us,” Badenoch said, “There is so much to do, we are starting over. It will be a lot of fun, but let’s get to work.”
Foreign Minister and deputy prime minister, Antonio Tajani, expressed himself on X. “Congratulations to Kemi Badenoch elected as the new leader of the Conservatives. A black woman candidate to lead the United Kingdom. Fine example of integration. As proposed by Ius Italiae. Which is not a leftist proposal.”
