The UK Conservative Party's election of Kemi Badenoch as leader is not a surprise for the tolerant, multicultural nation. However, questions arise about whether Badenoch is the right person to lead the party, given the party's divisive history and internal conflicts. Many believe that Badenoch's Nigerian background will be used to whitewash accusations of racism against the party. It remains to be seen if she can rally voters and heal the rift between the country and the Conservative Party. The party's selection of Badenoch is seen as sticking to the route of far-right politics and populist forces.
