So, I, Bob Blackman, MP, Chairman of the 1922 Committee and therefore returning officer
00:07
for the Conservative and Unionist Party leadership election, declare that the total number of
00:13
eligible electors was 131,680.
00:19
The turnout in the election was 72.8%.
00:24
The total number of votes rejected was 655, of which 610 were rejected because they were
00:31
either unmarked or void for uncertainty, and 45 ballot papers rejected because they'd voted
00:37
for more than one candidate.
00:44
Quite tough in a two-person election.
00:47
Anyway, the result was Kemi Badenoch, 53,806 votes, and Robert Jenrick, 41,382.
01:06
Now, the important bit.
01:08
Therefore, I give notice that Kemi Badenoch is elected as leader of the Conservative and
01:14
Unionist Party, and I welcome her to the stage, and it's great, isn't it great, that we've
01:18
got another female leader, and isn't it great that we're the first great party, the first
01:38
party to have a black leader.
