Kemi Badenoch is the new leader of the Conservatives after defeating Robert Jenrick in a ballot of party members.
Badenoch takes over from Rishi Sunak as leader of the opposition after winning 53,806 votes against 41,388 for Jenrick, in a result announced by the party on Saturday morning.
The result, announced at an event in central London by Bob Blackman, who chairs the 1922 Committee of Conservative backbenchers, means Badenoch took slightly more than 56% of the vote, a clear though not overwhelming victory.
