Four contenders vying to lead Britain's Conservative Party made their case at the party's annual conference in Birmingham, England. Former Immigration Minister, ex-Business Secretary, former Foreign Secretary, and ex-Security Minister are each striving to steer the right-of-center party back to power after a devastating election loss.
The Conservative Party suffered a significant blow in the July election, securing only 121 seats in the 650-seat House of Commons, while the center-left Labour Party clinched over 400 seats. The leadership hopefuls are aiming to revamp the party's image, defeat Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labour Party, and regain power by the next election in 2029.
