Kemi Badenoch has clinched the leadership of Britain's Conservative Party, promising to guide the party back to its foundational principles in a bid to restore voter confidence after a significant election setback in July.

Badenoch, who describes herself as a forthright communicator, secured the majority of votes from party members in the final phase of a lengthy contest that originally involved six candidates. The field narrowed down until only Badenoch and former immigration minister Robert Jenrick remained, with Jenrick finishing in second place.
