About our Kemi Badenoch news

Latest news on Kemi Badenoch, Conservative leadership candidate, former Business Secretary, and MP for North West Essex. Stay informed about her campaign, policies, and political career.

Kemi Badenoch, born on 2 January 1980, is a prominent British-Nigerian politician who has rapidly risen through the ranks of the Conservative Party. Currently serving as the Member of Parliament for North West Essex, Badenoch has held several high-profile ministerial positions, including Secretary of State for Business and Trade from 2023 to 2024.

On 28 July 2024, Badenoch announced her bid to become the Leader of the Conservative Party, following Rishi Sunak's resignation after the party's defeat in the 2024 general election. Her campaign, operating under the slogan "Renewal 2030", has garnered significant attention and support within the party. Recent polls suggest that Badenoch is a frontrunner in the leadership race, with strong backing from both MPs and party members.

Badenoch's political journey is marked by her commitment to conservative values and her reputation as an "anti-woke" politician. She has been vocal on issues such as racial equality, gender identity, and Britain's colonial history, often sparking debates and controversies. Her stance on these matters has earned her both ardent supporters and critics, making her a polarising figure in British politics.

Prior to her political career, Badenoch worked in the IT sector and banking industry. She entered politics as a London Assembly member in 2015 before being elected to Parliament in 2017. Her rapid ascent in the Conservative Party saw her take on roles such as Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury and Minister for Equalities, showcasing her versatility and political acumen.

As the Conservative leadership race unfolds, Badenoch's campaign and policy proposals are under intense scrutiny.
