Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei during a rally in Kapsabet town on March 13, 2026. /SAMSON CHERARGEI/XNandi Senator Samson Cherargei has said political parties allied to the ruling Kenya Kwanza Alliance must dissolve and merge with the United Democratic Alliance ahead of the 2027 General Election or risk being locked out of key government and parliamentary positions. “Those who are in a coalition with UDA, we want to ask them to dissolve those small parties so that we get into a bigger ship called UDA.

No US president in living memory has gone to war with less public support than Donald Trump has for the war in Iran. Trump did not make a public case for the war before it began, because he preferred quick, surprising strikes preceded by theatrical suspense. But by completely disregarding US public opinion before the war, Trump now finds himself in all kinds of trouble as he tries to fight it. Regime change is also, quite clearly, the aim of the Iran war. Tucker Carlson, the loudest critic of the Iran war on the right, immediately labelled it “Israel’s war”.

For observers on Earth, the most common culprit for this "Evening Star" designation is Venus, the second planet from the Sun, or occasionally Jupiter, the gas giant. Jupiter: Often the second-brightest point in the evening sky, its magnitude typically peaks around -2.9, providing a brilliant, steady yellow-white light.
