During Ruto's state visit, Ruto holding Mama Rachel's hand is one act that stood out in all official ceremonies.

This perception has led to dire predictions that if the Bharatiya Janata Party wins this election again, it will perhaps be the last election. Amidst the cynicism and the resignation, surprisingly, there has been a turn to an idea that all politics is established on the samvidhaan – the Constitution. It is the fact that the samvidhaan has emerged as an iconic symbol of the praja in the prajatantra. While poll pundits and journalists argue over what is the real issue in this election, it is quite clear that the Constitution has emerged as the star of political rhetoric, the darling of raja and praja alike. The idea of popular sovereignty and its protection by the samvidhaan has now become political commonsense and a rhetorical habit.

The ODM party further condemned the weaponisation of state agencies like KRA to harass and intimidate Governor Nassir and his colleagues who are only looking out for those they represent.

Opposition leader Raila Odinga and his political party, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), appeared sceptical Wednesday of the idea of the government reversing the course of the muguka ban in Mombasa and a handful of other coastal counties. In a statement to the press, ODM started by lauding the governors from the region who had sought to ban muguka use within their territories before the high court halted their move earlier this week. “Governor Abdulswamad Sheriff Nassir has been courageous enough to follow the talk with action in making the bold move prohibiting the entry, transport, sale, and distribution of muguka within Mombasa County. Governor Gideon Mungaro (Kilifi) and Andrew Mwadime (Taita Taveta) have taken similar action,” the opposition party said. The Raila Odinga-led party condemned the incident and is calling out the government for weaponising state agencies and security organs.
