The UK's Conservative party will on Saturday announce its new leader, who faces the daunting task of reuniting a divided and weakened party emphatically ousted from power in July after 14 years in charge.
"Anti-woke" candidate Kemi Badenoch is the favourite to win the vote by party members and replace former prime minister Rishi Sunak. He announced his departure as party leader after presiding over the resounding general election defeat on July 5.
