The 44-year-old, seen as a front runner to replace Rishi Sunak, promises to 'renew' the Tory party.
Kemi Badenoch has promised to "renew" the Conservative Party as she becomes the sixth person to launch a bid to become the next Tory leader.
She joins Dame Priti Patel, Mel Stride, Robert Jenrick, Tom Tugendhat and James Cleverly in the race to replace Mr Sunak.Ms Badenoch said the Conservative Party needed to focus on "doing some things well, not everything badly" to recover from their worst ever election result - which left them with 121 MPs., she said: "My campaign is launching with an explicit focus on renewing our party for 2030 – the first full year we can be back in government and the first year of a new decade.
"Our public services will never fully recover from the pandemic until we remember that government should do some things well, not everything badly." She gained her first major ministerial role in the Boris Johnson government, serving under then-chancellor Mr Sunak in the Treasury. Ms Badenoch now regularly outperforms her rivals in approval ratings among party members, according to surveys on Conservative Home - a popular website among activists.In a social media post, Ms Badenoch said a team behind another leadership bid had sent a “dirty dossier" to journalists and spread rumours she had secretly set up a leadership campaign website.
