Abstract

Former UK Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch has entered the race to lead the Conservative Party, following their worst election defeat in history. Badenoch aims to "renew" the party and return to government in 2030. She emphasizes the importance of confident principles about how the economy should work and advocates for a renewal of capitalism. Badenoch is currently the frontrunner, with bookmakers giving her odds of roughly 2/1. She will be competing against five other candidates, with Conservative members of Parliament narrowing the field to four by the end of September. The new leader will be announced on November 2nd.
