Kemi Badenoch’s political star is dimming. Despite her outspoken stance on Nigeria’s government and social issues—comments that once made headlines—her performance as party leader has failed to inspire confidence at home. Now, her party is preparing to move on without her.
Internal ratings show a steep decline in support for Badenoch’s leadership. Many within her party feel that her approach has become more combative than constructive, with her frequent international criticisms overshadowing her ability to address bread-and-butter issues that matter to voters.
Critics say her leadership style has become more divisive than effective, and her comments about Nigeria, while bold, did little to win over the broader electorate. With the next election cycle on the horizon and a restless party base demanding change, Badenoch is expected to be replaced. Contenders are already lining up behind the scenes, signaling that her departure is no longer a matter of if—but when.
