UNITED KINGDOM, AUG 7 – Kemi Badenoch said the Fritzl case made her question why prayers went unanswered, leading to her rejection of God while maintaining Christian cultural values.
- Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch lost her belief in God in 2008 after learning about the horrific case in which Josef Fritzl kept his daughter Elisabeth captive in a basement and subjected her to abuse for over two decades.

- She expressed satisfaction with her time as leader, highlighting that the Conservatives uniquely represent centre-right values such as personal responsibility and a government limited to essential functions.
