NAIROBI,Kenya Sep 21 – Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya have suffered a setback in their efforts to establish Ukombozi People’s Party as the political vehicle for the Linda Mwananchi movement ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The Registrar of Political Parties has rejected a proposal by the United Democratic Party (UDP) to change its name to Ukombozi People’s Party (UPP), saying the proposed name is too similar to another political outfit whose name had already been reserved.

In a letter dated September 8, Registrar of Political Parties John Lorionokou told lawyers representing UDP that the office had “not approved or authorised” the use of the name Ukombozi People’s Party by the party.

CHICAGO — Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker revealed Monday that he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes two years ago and began taking a GLP-1 medication, resulting in an 80-pound weight loss that he says has transformed his health and daily life.

The disclosure marks the first time the Democrat has publicly disclosed that he has diabetes, as well as officially acknowledging that he is on GLP-1 medication, which is prescribed both for diabetes treatment and weight loss. The governor told CBS News he started taking the medication after doctors warned that he would likely need insulin for the rest of his life.

Pritzker is viewed as a likely 2028 presidential candidate and has spent two years batting away questions about his visibly slimmer appearance, though he did hint at his weight loss during the Gridiron Club and Foundation’s annual white-tie dinner in Washington, D.C., earlier this year.

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?"
