Conservative Leadership Race Concludes with Badenoch and Jenrick in Final Showdown

Party members must choose between Kemi Badenoch's rejuvenation vision and Robert Jenrick's hardline policies as the Tories seek a path to recovery.

Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick are the final candidates in the Conservative Party leadership race, with the winner set to be announced on November 2.
Badenoch, known for her abrasive style, aims to revitalize the party by focusing on core Conservative principles and avoiding premature policy commitments.
Jenrick, positioning himself as a hardliner, emphasizes strict immigration controls and proposes the UK's withdrawal from the European Convention on Human Rights.
Both candidates face challenges in uniting a fractured party, with differing views on how to regain public trust and address internal divisions.
The leadership outcome is crucial for the Conservatives as they prepare for the next general election, with the potential to redefine the party's direction and appeal.
