Robert Jenrick emerges as the frontrunner to be the next Conservative Leader
Robert Jenrick officially announced his campaign to be the next Conservative Party leader earlier this week in Newark and instantly was made the favourite with UK Betting Sites to replace Rishi Sunak as leader.
‘How is it that we have just suffered our worst ever electoral defeat?’, a great question for Jenrick to ask during his campaign launch and one that voters of the party will have been asking ever since the election wrapped up.
Jenrick can answer that in the coming weeks during his campaign to become the leader of the Conservatives and numerous broken promises has left the confidence in the party at an all-time low.
Bet365's latest odds put Jenrick at 13/10 to become next Conservative Leader with around a 10% difference in implied probability given between him and second place Kemi Badenoch.
Badenoch had long been favourite to replace Sunak long before the General Election was even announced but now we've got the time where a replacement is needed she has slipped into second place in the betting odds.
| Next Conservative Leader | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Robert Jenrick | 13/10 | 43.5% |
| Kemi Badenoch | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Tom Tugendhat | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| James Cleverly | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Priti Patel | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Mel Stride | 33/1 | 2.9% |
What the expert says...
Rishi Sunak announced that he will be stepping down as leader of the Tory party
Following the UK Election loss last month, Rishi Sunak stepped down as Tory party leader apologising to the country after a big defeat for his party.
The Conservatives lost 251 seats with was arguably the worst defeat in the history of the Party with over 100 years since they received fewer votes.
Rishi Sunak now will stay as Conservative leader until the next leader is decided and we will see who will win the most votes later this year.

Labour dominated the UK General Election last month with Keir Starmer's party winning by a landslide with 412 seats won.
Conservatives ended the votes with just 121 seats after losing 251 at the election and it was one of the biggest victories we've ever seen in UK politics.
The weeks since Starmer took over though have seen unrest in the with protests around the UK follow a stabbing attack in Southport last week which saw three children killed.
