Former UK security minister Tom Tugendhat has announced his candidacy for Conservative Party leadership, aiming to replace Rishi Sunak following the party's significant electoral defeat. Tugendhat promises to restore trust among British voters by delivering on core Conservative promises such as lower taxes, reduced immigration, and more personal freedoms. He highlighted the need to end internal party conflicts and unite the Conservatives for future electoral success. Tugendhat also expressed willingness to leave the European Convention on Human Rights if necessary to regain control over UK borders. The leadership contest will see multiple candidates, including James Cleverly, Suella Braverman, Priti Patel, and others, with the final decision expected by November 2.
