A new prime minister: Frontrunner Boris Johnson has defeated rival Jeremy Hunt in the contest to replace Theresa May as Conservative party leader and as Britain's prime minister.
What comes next: May will step down as prime minister on Wednesday and Johnson will take the reins.

You must be auditioning for a role as a standup comedian or a russian troll. Kenya is the last country anyone should copy when it comes to elections.

Kenya wastes billions of Ksh on elections paying kina Chebukati millions of Ksh per month plus obscene benefits, only for people with access to the server to decide who wins.

Basically, Kenya borrows billions to hold elections then holds a sham election and flushes those billions into the sewer. Then the powers that be send armed goons to shoot down dissatisfied wananchi protesting the sham election. And you want the UK to copy Kenya? Uko na jokes.

British system is class based.The haves have a bigger say than the have-nots. In Kenya, all sane adults are deemed to have an equal say. The British have-nots have accepted their fate. Universal suffrage works best for Kenya for now.

The Conservative Party delegates who voted for the PM are not ordinary members? I saw stats for turnout

He is a Joker and a racist too.

Even the British themselves are complaining about the lack of democracy in their country. Kenya is ages ahead in terms of democracy. In the US Hillary won the majority vote but Trump is president. China and Russia are basically dictatorships. Remember the UK also has an upper house of parliament called the House of Lords where members are not elected but rather sons inherit parliamentary seats from their fathers when they (fathers) die. So the democracy we have in Kenya of one man one vote is very rare in the world. It's ironical that the west doesnt practice the kind of democracy they preach to us.

The British are complaining. In comparison, Kenyans don't complain, they pick up pangas and slash each other after every election, they call each other names on social media, they destroy private property, they damage government property such as railways............
In other words, elections in the UK make the British slightly miffed while in Kenya elections make people completely lose their mind and become murderous. Thousands of Kenyans die after every election and

Why?
Politicians charge up people's emotions by pitting tribes against each other. Then they refuse to hold open and transparent elections. The net result is that people conclude correctly that the elections are rigged. Elections that are emotionally charged, when rigged can cause people to completely lose their heads.

The election rigging and lack of transparency causes people become so resentful of each other that they start wishing that the country could be divided into two.

The powers that be can take steps to ensure clean transparent elections. For example they can hire an external company like IBM to host the election server overseas. Any hosting company that is is beyond reproach would suffice (not Chinese). And instead of hiring local corrupt officials like Chebukati, they can instead invite UN officials to oversee the election as was done in Haiti in the 1990s. But they will not do it because their selfish vested interests are more important than the country.

You speak of China's lack of democracy? Guess what? Most Chinese like it that way because their leaders are true patriots or nationalists who put the interests of their country ahead of their own. As a result China has grown from a backwater into the second most powerful nation.

Its better to have a benevolent dictator who is a true nationalist than to have Kenya's sham democracy where Kenyan ethnic groups are pitted against each other every 5 years.

Kenya is the worst country that you can ask anyone to copy.

BJ has previously said nasty things about Trump including that Trump is stupefyingly ignorant and unfit to be president of the US. The internet never forgets....

Yeah, they better copy DRC or Rwanda!

Didn't we vote for a joker, tribalist and drunk?
