Monday, October 27, 2025 - Kenya’s Health Cabinet Secretary, Aden Duale, has stirred controversy following his public endorsement of Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan ahead of the country’s October 29th elections.In a statement released on Sunday, October 26th, Duale lauded Suluhu’s leadership, calling her a “visionary” who has fostered unity and development across Tanzania.“I extend my very best wishes to Her Excellency President Mama Samia Suluhu Hassan… Tanzania has made remarkable strides in growth, unity and development,” Duale stated.He also praised the enduring diplomatic ties between Kenya and Tanzania, expressing optimism about continued cooperation between the two nations.Additionally, Duale extended his support to Zanzibar’s President Hussein Mwinyi, Agriculture Minister Bashe Hussein, and the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party.However, the message has drawn sharp criticism from Kenyans online, many of whom questioned Duale’s decision to publicly endorse a foreign leader during a politically sensitive period.Social media users accused him of overstepping diplomatic boundaries, with some declaring, “You are alone.”Others called out President Suluhu’s reign of terror with key opposition figures either in jail or banned from contesting against her in the upcoming elections.The Kenyan DAILY POST

Monday, October 27, 2025 - The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has dismissed reports suggesting that the party is positioning Homa Bay Governor, Gladys Wanga, to be President William Ruto’s running mate in the 2027 elections, clarifying that no such endorsement has been made.However, speaking on Monday morning during an interview on NTV, ODM Deputy Party Leader and Mombasa Governor, Abdulswamad Nassir, said the party will not oppose such a move if it followed due process.He was responding to questions on whether the unity pact between ODM and the ruling Kenya Kwanza Alliance could result in Ruto choosing a running mate from ODM.“Would I propose her to be the Deputy President? First, I’d sit down with her and ask if she’s interested.”“If she agrees, then the matter would go to the Central Management Committee for deliberation,” Nassir stated.He noted that such a decision would hinge on political strategy, regional balance, and data-driven analysis.“We will weigh all options and see who makes the best fit from across regions.”“Numbers must guide the choice,” he said.Nassir further clarified that Wanga has not expressed interest in the position, despite her name frequently featuring in political discussions even before the passing of ODM leader, Raila Odinga.He also ruled himself out of consideration, saying he is content serving as Mombasa Governor.The ODM Deputy Leader emphasized that succession or running mate debates are not a current party priority, noting that the focus remains on re-organising and realigning after Odinga’s death.Nassir reiterated that ODM is not in a coalition agreement with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) but is part of the “Broad-based Government.” The Kenyan DAILY POST

Monday, October 27, 2025 - Vocal Kileleshwa MCA, Robert Alai, has sparked online buzz after downplaying Embakasi East MP, Babu Owino’s initiative to offer free online mathematics classes.In a bold statement on October 27th, 2025, Alai claimed that his mathematical expertise far exceeds the level of content Babu has been teaching.“I am on the list of the best Kenyan mathematicians.”“I scored A- in a village secondary school called Lela.”“If I were at Alliance, I would have taught the teacher,” Alai said.He added that his academic journey includes studying Computer Science at USIU and currently pursuing a Master’s in Data Analytics.“My level of Mathematics is beyond the level of Patel and even his 20 associates. I live and eat maths,” he declared.Taking a jab at Babu’s efforts, Alai added:“My work is to legislate, represent and oversight. My work is NOT to stream live basic maths lessons,”Meanwhile, Babu Owino has remained defiant and continued his online revision sessions to help KCSE candidates prepare for exams.The initiative, which began during the COVID-19 pandemic, aims to support students regardless of his political role and has proved a major hit among candidates preparing for exams.

Monday, October 27, 2025 - A family in Jua Kali Phase 2 Estate in Kakamega is grappling with unimaginable grief after the tragic death of their 21-year-old daughter, Wendy Edda, who was waiting to join university.Her decomposing body was discovered in a sewage pit just meters from their home, three days after she went missing on Friday, October 24th.Speaking through tears, Wendy’s mother, Lilia Lichina, dismissed claims that her daughter fell into the pit by accident.She believes Wendy was harmed and her body deliberately dumped.“But there was one man who was threatening, ‘I want to marry you.’ This man lives up there, he was my first suspect.”“When I told him that I haven't found my child, he just laughed,” Lichina said.She revealed that the man had made inappropriate advances towards Wendy days before her disappearance, raising suspicions about his involvement.Wendy’s father, Levi Mate, expressed his heartbreak and determination to seek justice.“If he took advantage, it's like he got a wife.”“It would have been better if he had mistreated her and left her alive.”“As for me, I am saddened, I leave it to God, but I must follow all protocols to find justice,” he said.The family is now working closely with authorities to uncover the truth behind Wendy’s mysterious death.

Monday, October 27, 2025 - Migori Senator Eddy Oketch has called out ODM Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna and Embakasi East MP, Babu Owino, warning that their personal ambitions and premature 2027 political manoeuvres risk fracturing party unity.Speaking on Monday, October 27th, 2025, Oketch expressed concern that internal ODM disputes are increasingly driven by individual positioning rather than public service.“Some of our leaders seem more consumed by 2027 than by the welfare of Kenyans. Leadership should be about delivery, not just positioning,” he said.He cited recent progress under the Raila-Ruto ten-point agenda - including the resolution of university strikes and disbursement of capitation funds - as evidence that leaders should focus on results, not political posturing.“Stop panicking about 2027. Let us focus on the ten-point agenda between Raila and Ruto. Let citizens see results before we start evaluating politics for the next election,” he urged.Oketch urged ODM leaders to support ongoing Government programs and maintain party cohesion.He specifically challenged Sifuna to lead proactively in Nairobi without appearing desperate, and advised Babu Owino to prioritize constituents’ needs over his declared bid for the Nairobi gubernatorial seat.“I want to see Sifuna being proactive in Nairobi without appearing desperate.”“Babu Owino should also prioritise citizens’ welfare over declaring ambitions for the gubernatorial seat in 2027.“Leadership is about delivery, not just positioning,” he added.Tensions have escalated within ODM in recent weeks.Sifuna has publicly opposed the party’s cooperation with President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza administration, threatening to quit if ODM backs Ruto in 2027.Meanwhile, Owino has announced his intention to run for Governor, acknowledging internal friction and doubts about securing the ODM ticket.The death of former Prime Minister and long-serving party leader, Raila Odinga, has also left the party in uncharted waters.

The Africa World Cup Qualifiers 2026 energized fans with spectacular goals and thrilling comebacks. How many African teams qualify for World Cup 2026? Due to the expansion of the prestigious tournament, Africa has been granted more spots in the final stage. All national teams were divided by draw into 9 groups of 6 teams. The winners of each group qualify directly for the 2026 World Cup, while the best four runners-up will compete in the second round for a spot in the inter-confederation play-offs, where the last participant in the World Cup will be determined. Group A Egypt went through the World Cup qualification undefeated, with 8 wins and 2 draws. As usual, Mohamed Salah was the first violin in the Pharaohs’ orchestra. The “Egyptian King” scored 9 goals and made 3 assists, becoming his team’s most prolific player and topping the list of the best scorers in the history of African qualification, surpassing Didier Drogba. Burkina Faso gave fans the most dramatic storyline of the qualification. The Stallions celebrated their spot in the second round after a confident 3-1 victory over Ethiopia in the last game. But then triumph turned to disappointment: Eritrea withdrew from the qualification, which led to the decision not to count the points earned against the last teams in the groups, as one of them had 5 teams left. As a result, Burkina Faso dropped out of the top four runners-up and were overtaken by Nigeria on goal difference. Group B Senegal showed stability and maximum composure, finishing just 2 points ahead of DR Congo. Like Egypt, the Lions of Teranga went through the qualification undefeated, with Sadio Mané, Mohamed Salah’s former Liverpool teammate, as their main striking force. DR Congo made it to the top 4 runners-up and will continue to fight for their spot in the inter-confederation play-offs. In the second round semi-finals, the Leopards will face Cameroon. Group C For South Africa, a successful qualification almost turned into a failure. The ineligible player Teboho Mokoena took part in the match against Lesotho, which resulted in Bafana Bafana being deducted 3 points. However, in their last game, South Africa redeemed themselves for the mistake by crushing Rwanda (3-0) and overtaking Nigeria by 1 point. Eritrea’s tragicomic withdrawal played into the hands of the Super Eagles, who advanced to the second round, where they will face Gabon. Group D Cape Verde became one of the biggest discoveries of the qualification, overtaking the much more distinguished Cameroon in the fight for a direct ticket to the 2026 World Cup. The Blue Sharks will play in the World Cup finals for the first time in their history. These guys know how to make a splash. Just look at the story of Roberto Lopes, who was discovered by the national team scouts in 2019 via LinkedIn. The center-back was born in Ireland but accepted the offer to defend the colors of his father’s homeland, becoming one of the main architects of Cape Verde’s fairy tale. Group E Morocco are back on top: Walid Regragui’s team steamrolled their opponents, winning all 8 qualifiers. The Atlas Lions have now won 16 consecutive matches, breaking the record set by Spain in 2008-2009. Group F The reigning African champions scored 25 goals in the qualification, becoming the highest-scoring team. At the same time, the Elephants had 10 clean sheets, keeping their goal intact. However, despite this spectacular result, Côte d’Ivoire finished just 1 point ahead of Gabon. Their last qualifier proved to be a real test for the Panthers, with their leader, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, sent off after scoring 4 goals against Gambia (4-3) and suspended for the decisive match. However, Gabon managed to cope without their star player and beat Burundi to advance to the second round. Group G Algeria easily secured their place at the 2026 World Cup and introduced the world to the scoring talent of Mohamed Amoura. The VfL Wolfsburg striker scored 10 goals and became the top scorer in the qualification, ahead of Mohamed Salah! Another sensation was Luca Zidane, the son of the legendary Zinedine Zidane, who made his debut in goal for the Algeria national team. Group H The Tunisia national team’s defense can be compared to the safe betting platform Africa AfroPari, as it skilfully neutralizes any threats. In 10 qualifiers, the Eagles of Carthage didn’t concede a single goal, gaining almost twice as many points as Namibia, who took second place. Group I Ghana qualified without any problems (8 wins in 10 matches) and will be one of the most interesting teams in the World Cup finals. Antoine Semenyo and Mohammed Kudus are in excellent form, rocking the English Premier League. A balanced combination of youth and experience is the Black Stars’ trump card, which will help them redeem themselves for the failure at the World Cup in Qatar. Enjoy the vibe of excitement and vivid emotions with AfroPari! The 2026 World Cup will feature a record number of African countries, including experienced national teams (Morocco, Senegal and Egypt) and impressive newcomers (Cape Verde). We can also look forward to the CAF second round matches, which will be the last chance for Gabon, DR Congo, Cameroon and Nigeria. Follow the games with AfroPari, where sport lives in every click.
