Former British Business Secretary, Kemi Badenoch, has been named the new leader of the Conservative Party.
This follows her victory over Robert Jenrick in the final round of voting.
Badenoch, who was raised in Nigeria, has now become the first black woman to lead a major political party in the United Kingdom.
The 44-year-old takes over from Rishi Sunak as leader of the opposition after winning 53,806 votes against 41,388 for Jenrick.
The result was announced by the party on Saturday morning.
During her campaign, Badenoch promised to return the Conservatives to “first principles” and launch a series of reviews in the coming months to shape a new policy platform.
