Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick, both prominent figures on the right of the Conservative Party, are in the final stretch of the leadership race following a historic electoral defeat.
At the age of 44, Badenoch advocates for a return to core Conservative principles without rushing into a plethora of new policies.
She envisions implementing her agenda, Renewal 2030, when she becomes prime minister.
Jenrick, 42, presents a distinct approach by highlighting five key areas for reform, including immigration, economy, and net zero policies.
Badenoch is noted for her direct and occasionally controversial style, drawing comparisons to Margaret Thatcher.
Meanwhile, Jenrick emphasizes pragmatism and adaptation to evidence in forming his policies.
A priority for both candidates is immigration, with Jenrick proposing a withdrawal from the European Convention of Human Rights, whereas Badenoch suggests broader reforms first.
On cultural matters, Badenoch has publicly opposed 'woke' ideas, while Jenrick warns against cultural division but is open to discussing identity and integration.
Their backgrounds also illustrate their divergent paths: Badenoch, originating from south London with Nigerian roots and experience abroad, and Jenrick, a 'Midlands man' with a corporate background and a career as an MP from a young age.
