The Director of Elections for the Ablekuma North constituency, Daniel Yaw Tornyigah, has vowed to take legal action if the Electoral Commission (EC) attempts to overturn the earlier declaration of Ewura Abena Aubyn as the duly elected Member of Parliament (MP) for the area. In a press conference, Tornyigah reiterated that the NDC’s victory in Ablekuma North was the result of hard work and vigilance, reflecting the will of more than 70,000 voters. He emphasized that the party would not accept any attempt to reverse the decision made by the electorate. Tornyigah expressed concerns over the recent coalition of seven constituencies out of nine, which were declared for the NPP by the EC, raising questions about the commission’s impartiality. He accused the EC of potentially favoring the NPP, casting doubt on the transparency and fairness of the process. “We urge the Electoral Commission to uphold the principles of transparency, accountability, and fairness. The people of Ablekuma North deserve nothing less. We are committed to protecting this mandate and will legally challenge any effort to subvert the people’s choice,” Tornyigah stated.Brazil's legal landscape is on the brink of a significant development as a comprehensive indictment against former President Jair Bolsonaro and his associates is anticipated. Sources indicate that Brazil's top public prosecutor, Paulo Gonet, plans to consolidate three Federal Police investigations into Bolsonaro's actions, which challenged the country's democratic framework, into a single global indictment. The Federal Police have formally charged Bolsonaro and 36 individuals with attempted coup d'état and other serious offenses. These allegations stem from a nearly two-year probe into Bolsonaro's attempts to negate his 2022 election defeat. The investigation culminated in reports of planned assassinations and riots in Brasilia shortly after President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's inauguration. Gonet's approach emphasizes technicality and thoroughness, suggesting that the indictments, once analyzed and compiled, will form a robust case. However, the consistent delays point towards potential charges only being finalized by 2025. Despite mounting legal challenges, Bolsonaro retains influence as the leader of a major right-wing movement in Brazilian politics. (With inputs from agencies.)

Have you been drinking more than usual? A new blood test could soon reveal whether your alcohol consumption is harming your liver. Researchers report that a blood-borne byproduct of alcohol called phosphatidyl ethanol (PEth) offers a reliable way to assess liver scarring caused by excessive drinking. This innovative method, published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology, has the potential to revolutionize how doctors diagnose and monitor alcohol-related liver damage. PEth testing provides a more accurate picture of alcohol-related harm compared to relying on self-reported drinking habits. According to Judy Hahn, senior researcher and professor at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), this approach is akin to how other health risks are measured: “We don’t ask someone how much fatty food they eat; we measure their cholesterol. Similarly, we weigh people rather than asking how much they think they weigh,” Hahn explained in a UCSF news release. How the Test Works? When the body processes alcohol, it produces PEth, a compound that correlates directly with alcohol consumption. Previous studies have confirmed that blood concentrations of PEth accurately reflect the quantity of alcohol consumed, making it a promising biomarker for liver damage. This test could enable healthcare professionals to better understand a patient's drinking patterns and offer tailored advice to prevent long-term complications. The Scope of the Study Researchers pooled data from 12 studies conducted across the United States, Russia, Uganda, and South Africa, analyzing over 4,600 participants. These studies included PEth testing, self-reported alcohol use, and liver damage measurements. The findings revealed that elevated PEth levels strongly correlated with liver damage scores. In contrast, self-reports of drinking habits showed weaker associations with liver scarring, likely due to underreporting or memory lapses among participants. “This is the largest study yet to examine the relationship between PEth and liver damage,” researchers noted. It’s also the first to compare the effectiveness of PEth testing against self-reports in assessing the risk of liver scarring. The results underline the importance of integrating PEth tests into routine blood work. Why It Matters Heavy drinking is a widespread issue in the United States, with about 24 per cent of adults binge drinking and over 6 per cent classified as heavy drinkers, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Alcohol-related liver disease is a growing public health concern, especially as drinking levels surged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Liver scarring, also known as fibrosis, can be slowed or even reversed by reducing alcohol intake and adopting a healthy diet low in sugar, salt, and fat. However, early detection is crucial to prevent the condition from progressing to more severe stages like cirrhosis or liver failure. The study's lead researcher, Pamela Murnane, an assistant professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at UCSF, emphasized the need for routine PEth testing: “To prevent and manage liver fibrosis, we need to know how much a person is drinking. Self-reports simply don’t provide an accurate grasp of that.” Incorporating PEth testing into standard blood panels could help identify at-risk individuals earlier, allowing for timely interventions to protect liver health. As researchers continue to explore this technology, it holds promise for improving how alcohol-related liver disease is diagnosed and treated, ultimately saving lives.

The Aam Aadmi Party’s emphatic victory in the assembly byelections in Punjab has come as a shot in the arm for chief minister Bhagwant Mann. The by-elections to four assembly seats were seen as a midterm litmus test for the AAP government in the state following its poor showing in the April-May parliamentary polls, where it won only three of the 13 Lok Sabha seats. However, AAP triumphed in Gidderbaha, Dera Baba Nanak and Chabbewal assembly seats, wresting them from the Congress with significant margins for the first time. The party had failed to win these three seats in the 2022 Punjab polls, despite its historic victory with 92 of the 117 seats in the state assembly. AAP lost the fourth seat, Barnala, which it won in the previous two elections, to the Congress by a narrow margin of 2,157 votes, largely due to rebellion in the district unit. The district unit chief contested independently after the party leadership overlooked his claim and gave the ticket to a close associate of Sangrur MP Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer, who had vacated this seat. Though the loss in Barnala is a setback, the AAP’s overall strong showing in the bypolls came at a crucial time for the chief minister, who led the campaign and was joined by party convenor Arvind Kejriwal, amid growing rumblings within the ruling party regarding the grassroots perception about the state government’s working. Over the past three months, speculation has been rife about the central leadership’s tightening grip over the state’s governance following one-to-one meetings held by AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal with the cabinet ministers, senior officers, and municipal commissioners as well as a shake-up in the top echelons of the state administration, including the chief minister’s team, as part of a midterm course correction exercise. Ashutosh Kumar, a political science professor at Panjab University, said that the AAP got the advantage of being the incumbent as was the trend witnessed in the general and byelection election results announced on Saturday in different states across the country. “The election results will provide a huge relief to the chief minister as well as silence his critics. The AAP central leadership will also like to showcase this success in Delhi where it is going to face an electoral test in three months,” he said. During the elections, the ruling party faced challenging times due to a procurement crisis which sparked farmers protests over the tardy lifting of paddy stocks and mismanagement. The farmers had directed their ire at the state government, pushing it on back foot. However, the state authorities quickly got into action to manage the situation before it had any major political fallout for the ruling party.Hyperscale Data, Inc.
