Kemi Badenoch has made history by becoming the first Black woman to lead the UK's Conservative Party. Her rise to leadership comes after years of internal party fragmentation and the end of a 14-year Conservative rule. Badenoch, known for her outspoken and right-leaning views, is seen as a unifying figure for the party's base. Her leadership will be closely watched as she attempts to steer the party out of its current political wilderness and redefine its future direction.
