UK Conservatives pick Badenoch as new leader
The UK’s Conservative Party on Saturday elected Kemi Badenoch as its new leader as it seeks to rebound from a crushing election defeat that ended its 14-year rule. The 44-year-old London-born British Nigerian woman was the first Black woman to lead a major British political party, FRANCE 24's Benedicte Paviot said, reporting from London.
