It's 120 days since Rishi Sunak announced he was quitting and we have a new Conservative leader.
Take it away, Bob Blackman.
The result was Kebby Badenoch 53,806 votes, and Robert Jenrick 41,388.
Therefore, I give notice that Kebby Badenuk.
Is elected as leader of the Conservative and Unionist Party.
Isn't it great that we've got another.
Female leader, Bob Blackman there, not the new Tory leader, but the boss of.
Of the Tories 1922 Committee, the organization of backbenchers that runs elections like this, announcing that Kemi Badenoch has won the Tory crown.
Henry and Chris, you were both there.
Henry, what was it like in the room?
There was a proper crackle of excitement, I think, and nerves, real nerves, because for all that, a lot of people felt there was conventional wisdom here that Kemi Paidnok was gonna win.
And that conventional wisdom turned out to be correct.
No one knew there hadn't been loads of polls, not really any proper polls, actually, in the final two of the Conservative membership.
So I think a lot of people really didn't know how this was gonna play out.
And it's not actually that often in British politics that you get moments like that, especially in leadership elections, which maybe come around a little more frequently in the Conservative Party than they used to, but they're still notionally quite rare.
It was just undeniably a big moment.
And the energy in the room reflected that.
