Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has put a Ksh39 billion development programme at the centre of Kenya Kwanza politics in Meru, challenging critics to focus on their own ambitions as the Government rolls out roads, markets and education projects.

Speaking at Gitimene Market in Buuri Constituency on Monday, Prof Kindiki said Meru had been allocated Ksh39 billion for development and construction projects, with Ksh3.9 billion set aside for 21 kilometres of new roads in Meru town.

“Those telling you to abandon William Ruto, the person you elected overwhelmingly and with great love 2022 cannot give you any reason why you should leave government. All they shout is wantam, Kasongo or soprano and other useless slogans. They don’t tell you anything about roads, markets, affordable housing, hostels for our students, electricity connectivity or increasing productivity of our farms and animals. They are clueless with zero agenda,” said DP Kindiki.

Sen. Cory Booker’s response to a question about Abdul El-Sayed’s election campaign in Michigan has some online observers questioning whether the Democratic Party’s elected officials are behind the socialist-adjacent candidate.

The Democrat from New Jersey joined Kristen Welker on ABC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, when he was asked a wide variety of policy questions along with a question about President Donald Trump's announcement that he is banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House grounds. But the question about El-Sayed stole the show.

"Senator, you see there in our polls that socialism is viewed even more negatively than the 'MAGA movement,'" Welker began. "President Trump is trying to paint progressives, and frankly all Democrats, as socialists, and we're seeing one of the big battles play out for progressivism in Michigan right now with Abdul El-Sayed... do you think Democrats are drawing a firm enough line between themselves and socialism?"

Voters are perfectly fine supporting candidates who aren’t white men.

But they do show small preferences for candidates who are younger and Christian, according to new results from The POLITICO Poll. And voters were most likely to penalize transgender candidates in hypothetical matchups, though Democrats were more likely to support them than GOP voters were.

The results cast a new light on a simmering, yearslong public conversation within both parties about what it means to be electable and whether putting forward candidates of varying backgrounds is too politically risky in a close election environment. It’s a debate that defined the last open Democratic presidential primary in 2020 and is poised to play a role in 2028 too.
