Kemi Badenoch Makes History as First Black Woman to Lead UK Conservatives

Kemi Badenoch has been elected as the new leader of the UK's Conservative Party, marking a historic moment as the first Black woman to head a major British political party. Her victory comes as the Conservatives seek to recover from a recent election defeat. Badenoch's leadership is seen as a significant step in diversifying the party, which has now had four female leaders, including former Prime Ministers Margaret Thatcher, Theresa May, and Liz Truss, as well as a British Asian leader, Rishi Sunak. Badenoch has pledged to return the party to its core principles.
