The Conservatives lost more than 200 seats, taking their tally down to 121.<\/p>\n<p>The new leader\u2019s daunting task is to try to restore the party\u2019s reputation after years of division, scandal and economic tumult, hammer Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer\u2019s policies on key issues including the economy and immigration, and return the Conservatives to power at the next election, due by 2029.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe task that stands before us is tough but simple,\u201d Badenoch said in a victory speech to a roomful of Conservative lawmakers, staff and journalists in London. She said the party\u2019s job was to hold the Labour government to account, and to craft pledges and a plan for government.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the party\u2019s election drubbing, she said \u201cwe have to be honest \u2014 honest about the fact that we made mistakes, honest about the fact that we let standards slip.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe time has come to tell the truth, to stand up for our principles, to plan for our future, to reset our politics and our thinking, and to give our party, and our country, the new start that they deserve,\u201d Badenoch said.<\/p>\n<p>A business secretary in Sunak\u2019s government, Badenoch was born in London to Nigerian parents and spent much of her childhood in the West African country.<\/p>\n<p>The 44-year-old former software engineer depicts herself as a disruptor, arguing for a low-tax, free-market economy and pledging to \u201crewire, reboot and reprogram\u201d the British state.<\/p>\n<p>A critic of multiculturalism and self-proclaimed enemy of wokeness Badenoch has criticized gender-neutral bathrooms and government plans to reduce U.K. carbon emissions. During the leadership campaign she drew criticism for saying that \u201cnot all cultures are equally valid,\u201d and for suggesting that maternity pay was excessive.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Bale, professor of politics at Queen Mary University of London, said the Conservative Party was likely to \u201cswing towards the right both in terms of its economic policies and its social policies\u201d under Badenoch.<\/p>\n<p>He predicted Badenoch would pursue \u201cwhat you might call the boats, boilers and bathrooms strategy \u2026. focusing very much on the trans issue, the immigration issue and skepticism about progress towards net zero.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the Conservative Party is unrepresentative of the country as a whole \u2014 its 132,000 members are largely affluent, older white men \u2013 its upper echelons have become markedly more diverse.<\/p>\n<p>Badenoch is the Tories\u2019 third female leader, after Margaret Thatcher and Liz Truss, both of whom became prime minister. She\u2019s the second Conservative leader from a non-white background, after Sunak, and the first with African roots. The center-left Labour Party, in contrast, has only ever been led by white men.<\/p>\n<p>In a leadership contest that lasted more than three months, Conservative lawmakers reduced the field from six candidates in a series of votes before putting the final two to the wider party membership.<\/p>\n<p>Both finalists came from the right of the party, and argued they can win voters back from Reform U.K., the hard-right, anti-immigrant party led by populist politician Nigel Farage that has eaten away at Conservative support.<\/p>\n<p>But the party also lost many voters to the winning party, Labour, and to the centrist Liberal Democrats, and some Conservatives worry that tacking right will lead the party away from public opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Starmer\u2019s government has had a rocky first few months in office, beset by negative headlines, fiscal gloom and a plummeting approval rating.<\/p>\n<p>But Bale said that the historical record suggests the odds are against Badenoch leading the Conservatives back to power in 2029.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s quite unusual for someone to take over when a party gets very badly beaten and manage to lead it to election victory,\u201d he said. \u201cHowever, Keir Starmer did exactly that after 2019. So records are there to be broken.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She got 53,806 votes in the online and postal ballot of party members, to Jenrick\u2019s 41,388 Britain\u2019s Conservative Party on Saturday elected Kemi Badenoch as its new leader as it tries to rebound from a crushing election defeat that ended 14 years in power.
