Kemi Badenoch has been the Member of Parliament for North West Essex since 2017 and was re-elected in July 2024. She currently serves as Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the Conservative Party.

Before taking on her current role, Kemi served as Secretary of State for Business and Trade, President of the Board of Trade, and Minister for Women and Equalities. Her previous ministerial roles include positions at the Treasury, the Department for Education, and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.

Kemi began her political career as a London Assembly Member, where she was the Conservatives’ spokesperson for the economy and sat on the Transport and Policing & Crime Committees. She later served as a Vice-Chair of the Conservative Party and was a member of the House of Commons Justice Select Committee.

Her interests include engineering, technology, social mobility and integration. She has mentored women pursuing careers in tech and remains passionate about opening up opportunity.

As the MP for North West Essex, Kemi has supported hundreds of constituents on everything from national policy to local issues. She works closely with local councils, schools, businesses and community organisations to champion the needs of the area and help deliver real results for the people she represents.

 Cllr Mike Steel

"I regularly host Kemi in my division, to tackle the specific issues that impact a rural area - we visit schools, farms, businesses, housing developments, and look at highway issues. 

"Kemi is brilliant at adding her name and support to initiatives and case work, and is always willing to “rattle the cages” to make the right things happen!"  

Essex County Cllr and Chelmsford City Cllr Mike Steel
