Kemi Badenoch elected leader of UK Conservative Party

ai generated text

Kemi Badenoch is the new leader of the UK's Conservative Party, the first black woman to hold the position. She won a vote of almost 100,000 party members, defeating Robert Jenrick. Badenoch was born Olukemi Adegoke in Nigeria in 1980 and moved to the UK at the age of 16. She promises to return the party to its founding principles, saying "the time has come to tell the truth." Badenoch's victory follows the party's crushing defeat in July's general election, which led to the resignation of former leader Rishi Sunak. As the new leader, Badenoch will be opposition leader. She has said that the economic and social upheavals in Nigeria shaped her political outlook and has cited Margaret Thatcher as her political heroine.

    1. But you're not growing up in Nigeria in the 1980s and then rising to become the leader of the Conservative Party if you're lazy.
    2. We are a much more mobile and culturally diverse country today.

    1. I grew up somewhere where the lights didn't come on, where we ran out of fuel frequently despite being an oil-producing country.
    2. Our second is no less important, it is to prepare over the course of the next few years for government.
    3. The task that stands before us is tough but simple.
    4. I meet a lot of people who assume that things are good here because things are good here and they always will be. They don't realize just how much work and sacrifice was required in order to get that.
    5. I'm not a wallflower. And people will often take your strengths and present them as weaknesses.
    6. The time has come to tell the truth, to stand up for our principles, to plan for our future, to reset our politics and our thinking, and to give our party and our country the new start that they deserve. It is time to get down to business. It is time to renew.
    7. To all intents and purposes, I am a first-generation immigrant.
    8. I don't take what we have in this country for granted.
    9. I'm certainly not an arsonist. I'm a Conservative.
    10. We need to ensure that we keep India close. There is an axis of authoritarian states collaborating against the West and they would love to have India on their side.
