FINAL CANDIDATES FOR UK CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP – New leader to be announced on Nov. 2
Former MPs will go head-to-head to win votes from members of the Conservative Party and become its next leader after making it through to the final round of a contest set to shape the future of Britain’s once dominant party.
Wednesday’s vote by Conservative MPs was the penultimate step in a race that has been marked by the kind of in-fighting that some Conservatives blame for their party’s defeat in July’s national election.
Party members nationwide will now choose between former business and trade minister Kemi Badenoch and former immigration minister Robert Jenrick. The victor will be announced on Nov. 2.
