British lawmaker Kemi Badenoch was on Tuesday re-appointed as trade minister and also given the role of equalities minister, according to a statement by the office of the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Badenoch backed Sunak in the most recent race to replace outgoing leader, Liz Truss.
She was also a contender earlier this year in a Conservative Party leadership contest to replace then Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
