Elections BC is drawing scrutiny which threatens to undermine taxpayer’s faith in our elections. That’s a problem. Here’s the solution: call a public inquiry into Elections BC, not a politicised process through legislative committees working behind closed doors. There is nothing to suggest the B.C. provincial election was stolen. There is nothing to suggest Elections BC was in cahoots with one party or another. But that doesn’t mean we can afford to turn a blind eye to its mishandling of the most important day in our democratic cycle. In a democracy, taxpayers must have faith in elections and repeated errors from Elections BC erodes that trust. And make no mistake, Elections BC did mess up its handling of the provincial election. The problems with Elections BC range from bad to worse. It took Elections BC more than a week to finish the preliminary tally of votes. Voting closed Oct. 19, but the final count didn’t occur until Oct. 28. British Columbians shouldn’t be left in limbo because Elections BC workers didn’t stay late to count votes. And it shouldn’t take an extra week for the final count to begin. Then came the revelation that Elections BC officials were storing ballots in their personal homes. Think about that for a moment. When you cast your ballot, did you imagine it would find its way into the basement of someone’s home? British Columbians generally believe Elections BC acts in good faith. But why allow questionable chains of custody for the most important pieces of paper in a democracy? Why risk storing ballots in home basements instead of secure government buildings? In three-quarters of B.C.’s 93 ridings, mistakes by Elections B.C. led to unreported votes. That’s unacceptable. To be fair, all the votes were eventually accounted for and counted. But our elections are too important to risk with these kinds of blunders. Both the ruling NDP and Opposition BC Conservatives agree there needs to be an investigation into Elections BC’s mistakes. The NDP wants an all-party committee made up of MLAs to probe Elections BC. But that’s not good enough. Legislative committees are political and are made up of politicians fighting for the spotlight. They can hide behind in camera meetings the public doesn’t have access to. For the public to have faith in our elections, the public needs to be involved in the inquiry. That’s what the BC Conservatives are calling for: an independent public review. British Columbians need to have faith in our elections, so the public must be a part of the investigation. This is far too important an issue for taxpayers to be shunted off to the side while politicians play partisan games. Carson Binda is the B.C. director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.Unexpected Turn for Tech Giant: A Plunge in Stocks After Earnings ReportPHILADELPHIA and NEW YORK , Dec. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- FS KKR Capital Corp.

BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — Tre Carroll scored 18 points off the bench to lead Florida Atlantic to an 89-80 victory over Texas State on Saturday. Carroll shot 7 of 9 from the field and 4 of 4 from the free-throw line for the Owls (7-5). Niccolo Moretti scored 15 points, shooting 4 of 6 from the field and 6 for 7 from the line. Matas Vokietaitis shot 5 of 8 from the field and 3 of 8 from the free-throw line to finish with 13 points. The Bobcats (7-4) were led by Tyler Morgan, who posted 19 points, six rebounds and five assists. Tylan Pope added 14 points and three blocks. Josh O'Garro finished with 13 points, nine rebounds and two blocks. Texas State had a five-game win streak end. Florida Atlantic took the lead with 51 seconds to go in the first half and never looked back. The score was 43-40 at halftime, with Vokietaitis racking up 11 points. The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar . For copyright information, check with the distributor of this item, Data Skrive.The United States offered a $10 million reward on Tuesday for information leading to the arrest of a Chinese man and co-conspirators wanted for hacking computer firewalls. Guan Tianfeng, 30, is believed to be living in China’s Sichuan Province, according to the State Department. An indictment charging Guan with conspiracy to commit computer fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud was unsealed on Tuesday. The Treasury Department said it had imposed sanctions on the company Guan worked for, Sichuan Silence Information Technology Co Ltd. Guan and co-conspirators at Sichuan Silence allegedly took advantage of a vulnerability in firewalls sold by UK-based cybersecurity company Sophos Ltd, according to the indictment. “The defendant and his co-conspirators exploited a vulnerability in tens of thousands of network security devices, infecting them with malware designed to steal information from victims around the world,” Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said in a statement. Some 81,000 firewall devices were simultaneously attacked worldwide in April 2020, the indictment said, with the aim of stealing data, including usernames and passwords, while also attempting to infect the computers with ransomware. More than 23,000 firewalls were in the United States, of which 36 were protecting “critical infrastructure companies’ systems,” the Treasury said. “The zero-day vulnerability Guan Tianfeng and his co-conspirators found and exploited affected firewalls owned by businesses across the United States,” FBI agent Herbert Stapleton said. “If Sophos had not rapidly identified the vulnerability and deployed a comprehensive response, the damage could have been far more severe.” According to the indictment, Sichuan Silence sold its services and the data it obtained through hacking to Chinese businesses and to government entities, including the Ministry of Public Security.

Tre Carroll scores 18 as Florida Atlantic fends off Texas State 89-80

A DANGEROUS loophole is allowing migrants to work illegally for Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats using the details of legitimate staff, a Sun on Sunday investigation can reveal. Our undercover reporter posed as a recent Afghan migrant on Facebook forums dedicated to hiring food delivery drivers, to highlight how riders are subcontracting their accounts to people who do not have the right to work legally in the UK. Within minutes he was offered the log-ins for company apps so he could receive orders in return for a fee — without any checks on who the driver really was. We discovered some subcontract workers are migrants who are able to skip background checks and earn money illegally without the company they are riding for even being aware. This subcontracting practice, known as substituting, is accepted by the delivery firms and allowed under their terms and conditions. But no checks are made on who they are substituting to, and the loophole could be exploited by dangerous criminals to land jobs. Read More on UK News In 2022 Hampshire delivery rider Jennifer Rocha bit off a customer’s thumb in a row over a pizza but continued working for Deliveroo , even after the account she was using at the time was suspended. The same year, convicted drug dealer Jordan Da Silva managed to work for Deliveroo. His past was only exposed when he posted a video of him unwrapping a female customer’s anti-fungal cream in front of her, and he was recognised on social media . No questions In April, food delivery firms agreed to strengthen security checks to prevent illegal working. Most read in The Sun Deliveroo said it has launched a substitute registration feature including right-to-work checks, Uber Eats said it would be launching identity verification checks while Just Eat said it was trying to “develop a solution which will ensure couriers substituting their work do so in accordance with the law”. But after our reporter posted in the Facebook group asking to hire an account to do deliveries, he was offered Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat account details and log-ins for £70 to £100 a week, with no questions. The registered drivers assured our reporter he would easily make that fee back and could expect an average of 42 hours a week earning £600 — around £14 an hour — by downloading an app, using their details to log into the system and get work. One, Brian, agreed to hire out a Just Eat account for £140. He told our reporter it consisted of a £70 deposit and £70 for the first week’s use of the system, and said to take the cash to a run-down housing estate in Beckenham Hill, South London . When our reporter said he didn’t have a UK bank account, he said: “We will get paid every Wednesday and I can give you it in cash. You can easily make £100 daily, working seven to eight hours. If you make £600 I’ll take £70 rent and I’ll give you £530. Nobody is going to check or ask you for anything. This is anonymous work. Another user, Ricky, gave us an account to transfer £180 made up of an £80 deposit and £100 for the first week’s rental of his user details. We made no payment for any account. One Brazilian driver told us: “A person who has the right to work here opens as many accounts as possible, sometimes over 100. “From there, they offer these accounts to people who don’t have the right to work, then they work in another field that pays better, like construction. Illegal workers will happily accept a £3 order to an address three or four miles away.” Migrants are even boasting about using the substituting loophole to get work. One, from Chad in North Africa , detailed his journey to Europe in 2022 on TikTok . In one post he shared a Union Flag and a rowing boat, indicating he had reached the UK on an illegal small boat . And he showed the budget hotel near Heathrow Airport where he was living, and himself riding a bike carrying a Deliveroo bag, as well as buying designer gear. In another hotel in South East London, where small-boat migrants are living, a resident, 32, from Pakistan said: “There are people here working as delivery drivers, but I’m not one of them. I don’t know how they get jobs as we don’t have work permits.” And a Jordanian man, 53, said: “I want a job but I don’t have a work permit. If someone can find me a job as a delivery driver, I will take it.” We showed our findings to industry expert Alfie Pearce-Higgins, a Deliveroo rider since 2021, who campaigns for better pay transparency for workers. He said: “I’m not surprised by the scale of this — the practice is widespread. Anyone who wants an account can rent one easily without any checks. This undercuts the pay of legal, tax-paying drivers and can expose vulnerable people to exploitation. “There is a very simple solution — remove the right of substitution, as Deliveroo recently did in Hong Kong. In my experience most drivers, customers and restaurants and supermarkets would support this.” In 2023, a Home Office spot check found 42 per cent of riders were working illegally. Deliveroo and Uber Eats have more than 120,000 official UK riders between them and Just Eat has tens of thousands — suggesting if it reached that scale, at least 50,000 food delivery workers could be working illegally. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: “The leading delivery firms have made repeated commitments to stamp out the abuse of driver substitution, but it is clear from these revelations they have not gone far enough. “They need to get a grip on this fast as we cannot stand for this kind of abuse.” And Tory Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: “Our laws — including employment laws — should be respected. “The Government must urgently step up immigration enforcement and checks to stop illegal employment, including in the gig economy.” Our research shows counter-measures are having little effect. We even found gangs offering “all-inclusive” illegal work packages that can be booked before a person has even reached Britain. An Instagram post in Portuguese offers London accommodation, a motorcycle with insurance and fuel, an active Uber Eats account, plus food, for £500 a week, claiming it offers an £840 weekly profit. A West London delivery driver added: “Three or four I know of are visa overstayers renting accounts and making good money. I think the food delivery accounts are accelerating the boat arrivals and providing a stepping stone to integrate into communities faster.” WHEN a driver creates an account with a delivery firm, it checks their right to work, photo ID, Disclosure and Barring Service status for convictions, and insurance, if they are using a motorised vehicle. Drivers pay nothing to the firms when they create an account with them and there are no minimum working hours, which is why there is no real justification for substitutes. But all major firms allow substitutions, including Deliveroo, Uber Eats, Just Eat and Stuart. An Uber Eats spokesman said: “All couriers who use the Uber Eats app must undergo checks to ensure they have a legal right to work in the UK. "Uber Eats has worked with the Home Office to launch additional identity verification and Right to Work checks to help ensure only those who legitimately use someone else’s account to deliver on the platform are able to. “We are constantly reviewing these processes to ensure they are as robust as possible and if we receive reports that this is not the case we will investigate and take appropriate action.” A Deliveroo spokesman said: “We take a zero-tolerance approach towards any rider who fails to meet their legal obligations. “All riders have to have the Right to Work. If found to be in breach of their obligations, we will stop working with them with immediate effect. "We have taken action to secure our platform and were the first to roll out direct Right to Work checks, a registration process and identity verification for substitutes. READ MORE SUN STORIES “We are rolling out daily identity checks using facial recognition technology for all riders, including substitutes. "We take our responsibilities extremely seriously and are committed to strengthening our controls and preventing misuse of our platform, with additional checks planned for next year.” FOOD delivery workers claim they can make as much as £1,400 a week. Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat do not publicly advertise pay rates. But riders say they can earn large sums by picking the best-paying orders, working in areas with lots of restaurants, take-aways and grocery shops, and working at peak times. If they take multiple orders from the same place or from outlets in the same area, they can do multiple deliveries per hour. The delivery firm apps use an algorithm to determine earnings, depending on the number of orders collected, distance travelled and time taken to complete orders. The algorithm also sets pay rates, based on how many drivers are online. Jobs website Indeed states the average daily income of a Just Eat worker is £202, while Deliveroo riders average £14.99 per hour and Uber Eats drivers are estimated to earn up to £120 a day. One Just Eat worker boasted on Indeed the work was “so simple... I usually get around £15-£20 an hour”. An Uber Eats rider said they “easily earn over £500 per week working 40 hours”, while a Deliveroo rider claimed to have earned £1,400 in a week on a pedal bike, working 7am to 10.30pm. Drivers can also earn money by substituting.Tyler Herro scores 27 before ejection in Heat's 104-100 win over RocketsMinnesota House seat going to special election after DFL candidate declines to appeal residency decision

Artificial intelligence experts Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin analyze the technology on ‘One Nation.’ A 14-year-old committed suicide after following the advice of an AI chatbot . Another family is suing the same one — Character AI — after it told an autistic 14-year-old to kill his parents. It also exposed an 11-year-old to sexual content. These stories are heavy reminders that young people are especially vulnerable on the internet , but AI isn’t the only thing targeting them. HOW TO (KINDLY) ASK PEOPLE NOT TO POST YOUR KIDS' PHOTOS ON SOCIAL MEDIA The fine folks at the FBI’s crime division say teens lost 2,500% more money to scams over a recent five-year stretch. Compare that to an 805% increase for seniors, which is still not great, but at least it’s not 2,500%. So, why teens? Because thieves have more ways than ever to target them. Talk to anyone in your circle born between 1996 and 2010 about this. It’s a big deal. I share smart tech news and tips you can use every single day. Join 600K readers who get The Current. The most prevalent scams and tricks Under the influence: Say a kiddo in your family idolizes an online influencer. That person is so easy to impersonate. All a fraudster has to do is set up a phony account that looks real, run a contest and trick "winners" into handing over their personal details (or more) to claim their (nonexistent) prizes. Done and done. This file photo shows someone checking his smartphone in Glenview, Ill. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh, File) Pro tip: Stick to "official" influencer accounts with substantial follower counts. A smaller account is almost always a scammer, not some secret one. And never give financial info or money to someone via DM. ‘Hey there, handsome’: This is a classic for a reason. Scammers grab pictures of an attractive teen or 20-something and play digital Casanovas. All too soon, they profess their love — then comes the request for money, gifts or info. Pro tip: Try a reverse image search to see if those pics pop up elsewhere online. If the person refuses to video call or meet you in person, it’s a bad sign. RELATED: Deepfakes are so easy to make. Talk to your kids. ‘Send me a photo’: This is the dangerous intersection of smartphones , sexting and scammers. Someone shares sexy pictures and asks for some in return. As soon as the victim sends a pic or video, everything changes. AI EXPERT: CHATGPT PROMPTS YOU’LL WISH YOU KNEW SOONER The person on the other end is now blackmailing them. Pay up or they’ll share the content with everyone the victim knows. Think about how horrifying that would be at any age, but especially as a teenager. I spoke to a family that lost their son to suicide after this happened to him. Such a heartbreaking story, and they’re not alone; this is way too common. Pro tip: Talk to your kids about sending pictures to others online. Urge them to never share anything explicit, even with someone they know in person and trust. It’s just not worth it. ‘You won!’ ... Not": This one targets younger teens. A thief tricks them into revealing credit card details or downloading malware under the guise of rewards in their favorite game. Social media apps are pictured on a smartphone. (Matt Cardy/Getty Images) Pro tip: This one’s easy. Only ever buy apps or make in-app purchases through an official app store — no trades and nothing "private." So, what can you do? The internet is an incredible resource for learning, creativity and fun, but let’s not sugarcoat it: there are dangers out there. Scammers and predators have become experts at manipulation, and kids can easily fall victim. The most important thing you can do as a parent? Foster open, honest communication. When my son was younger, I shared age-appropriate stories about what he might encounter online. We talked about the risks in a way he could understand. He knew that if anything or anyone made him feel uncomfortable, he should come to me immediately, no questions asked. DO THIS WITH YOUR FAMILY VIDEOS BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE That’s the foundation: trust. Kids need to know that they won’t get in trouble for being fooled. Today’s online predators are sneaky, and scammers know exactly how to win a child’s trust. If your child is targeted, it’s never their fault. Here’s my free tech safety contract you both can sign if you’re not sure where to start the conversation around tech limits. Action plan for parents Remember when you had a fake driver’s license or told a little white lie to get what you wanted? Kids have ways around parental controls and are smart enough to spin the birth year wheel when signing up to get around age restrictions. A mother and teenage daughter are seen using a smartphone.

A few simple steps to take: Have the passcode to their phone: You need access to everything at any time. Even if you don’t pop in much, they need to know you can. Set limits: Use built-in app controls to monitor their time spent in the apps and tools like content filters to limit their exposure to inappropriate material. "Friend" or "Follow" them: Stay connected on social media to see their circle and interactions. Without open dialogue, they’ll find ways around you.

With the Sunshine Girls being the highest-ranked Jamaican national team, Netball Jamaica (NJ) President Tricia Robinson said the association is committed to ensuring that the team remains a global powerhouse for the years to come. The Girls are currently ranked third in the World Netball Rankings, which sees them holding the distinction as the highest-ranked Jamaican national team across their respective sports. They also stand as one of the most successful national teams in global competitions since their competitive debut at the 1963 Netball World Cup - then named World Netball Championship. The Sunshine Girls have won the bronze medal four times at the Netball World Cup, with their latest coming in 2023, placing second at the Commonwealth Games in 2022, along with three silver medals at the Fast5 World Netball Series. In fact, of their 34 international campaigns, the Sunshine Girls lowest-ever placement was sixth, at the 1967 Netball World Cup and again at the 2022 Fast5 World Netball Series. Robinson said that with all their accomplishments, it is a priority for NJ to maintain its global stature by investing in Jamaica’s next generation of netballers. “To sustain long-term success, we’re focusing on the next generation of talent through grass-roots programmes and leagues that provide young players with opportunities to compete and grow,” the association president explained. Robinson said a major step in securing the future of the Sunshine Girls would be the 2025 Netball World Youth Cup set for September next year. The young Sunshine Girls have qualified for the age-group international tournament and will be looking to improve on their most recent placement, where they had finished fifth in the 2017 edition. They have been drawn in Pool C and will contest the first round of play against England, Tonga, Wales and Sri Lanka. Robinson said the competition would be the best opportunity to see how the next generation of players stack up against their international rivals. “Our under-21 have qualified for the Netball World Youth Cup scheduled to be held in Gibraltar next year, and we are keen on seeing them match up against the rest of the world,” she stated. Robinson said 2025 would prove to be an exciting year for NJ as they are currently preparing for the Sunshine Girls three-match series against South Africa to be held at the National Indoor Sports Centre on January 18, 22, and 25. The president has promised that local fans will be entertained with world-class netball displays throughout the year as they hope to schedule even more competitive matches for the national team. “Netball Jamaica aims to keep the team active with a packed calendar of matches through our varying leagues and scheduled tournaments. This ensures they remain competitive and prepared for international challenges,” Robinson said.Colorado's 2-way star Travis Hunter eyes Big 12 title and more before 'for sure' entering NFL draftLearn the Importance of Commercial Pressure Washing With Innovation Power Washing 12-27-2024 10:16 PM CET | Politics, Law & Society Press release from: ABNewswire Wayne, NJ - Operating a business comes with a unique collection of challenges. Customers need to be attended to so they feel welcome. Employees must be managed correctly so that they can do their jobs correctly and efficiently. On top of this, there are all the records that need to be kept and all the paperwork that needs to be filled out. It can be tempting to remove commercial pressure washing [ https://www.innovationpowerwashing.com/commercial-pressure-washing-company-in-wayne-nj/ ] from the list of responsibilities, but there are many reasons why it should remain a high priority. As a local pressure washing company, Innovation Power Washing [ https://www.innovationpowerwashing.com/ ] is familiar with these reasons and lays them out below. Cleaner Surfaces Create More Comfortable Environments One of the biggest focuses of any business owner is maintaining a comfortable environment that makes customers feel welcome. Many decisions are made with precisely this in mind. For example, what sorts of lights will be installed? How will furniture be arranged? And what colors should the walls be painted? In a similar vein, it is important to clean the exterior surfaces of the business. Consider the difference between a clean, bright front walk versus one that is smothered with debris. Consider also recently washed outside walls versus those that are covered with moss and graffiti. Not only will cleaner exterior surfaces make customers feel more at home, but passersby will be more likely to park, check out your business, and become regular customers in turn. Help Surfaces Last Longer With Pressure Washing It can be frustrating when a large expense appears out of the blue. This is as true for commercial property owners and business owners as it is for anyone else. Because of this, it is important to prevent these large expenses whenever possible, and this is another way that commercial pressure washing can come in handy. Pressure washing removes harmful debris from surfaces, prevents debris from eroding the surfaces, and in turn, reduces the chance of cracks, gaps, and potholes forming over time. Cleaning exterior surfaces to prevent damage is especially important for roofs, believe it or not. Over time, roofs can collect harmful substances such as moss. Moss roots itself into shingles, creates passages for water to enter, and exacerbates the risk of moisture damage. This can even result in a leak over time-which customers will surely not appreciate. Ensure this does not happen by keeping an eye on all the business's exterior surfaces and washing them whenever needed. Professional Pressure Washing Saves Time With all that said, it is still a very real possibility that business owners lack the time or energy to pressure wash their own properties. It is also worth noting that pressure washing requires specific equipment, proper training, and safety knowledge (e.g. "What precautions should I take when washing a roof?"). Because of this, Innovation Power Washing provides commercial pressure washing services to the Wayne, NJ community.

Sambhal violence: SP delegation to meet victims’ families, provide Rs 5 lakh aidAsia stocks mostly fell in thin holiday trade on Monday after tech losses killed off the traditional year-end lift on Wall Street at the end of last week. The "Santa Claus rally" got off to a good start but US stocks then fell across the board on Friday, with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq both dropping more than one percent. Tech stocks led the way, with Elon Musk's electric car giant Tesla closing around five percent lower and AI chipmaker Nvidia shedding around two percent. Weighing on investor sentiment were worries about the pace of US interest rate cuts and possible higher import tariffs under incoming US president Donald Trump. "As US stock markets concluded with a downturn on Friday, Asia-Pacific markets are bracing for a slippery penultimate trading day of 2024," said Stephen Innes at SPI Asset Management. "With US (bond) yields climbing and liquidity essentially non-existent, there's always the potential for outsized moves. This comes during a critical phase of year-end rebalancing, intensified by hefty equity positions across portfolios," Innes said in a note. In Tokyo, the Nikkei was down 0.75 percent at 40,020.00 points on the last day of trading until January 6. The yen was little changed after hitting 158.08 against the dollar on Thursday, the lowest in almost six months. That came after Bank of Japan governor Kazuo Ueda failed to give a clear signal on a possible interest rate increase next month. In Seoul, Jeju Air shares tumbled more than eight percent after one of its planes crashed in South Korea on Sunday, killing all but two of the 181 people on board. South Korea's transport ministry said on Monday it was "reviewing plans to conduct a special inspection on (Boeing) B737-800 aircraft" after the crash. South Korea was also hit with further political turmoil, with authorities issuing an arrest warrant for suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol. Yoon briefly imposed martial law this month and was then impeachment by parliament. Lawmakers also impeached his acting successor Han Duck-soo last week. Chinese stocks also opened lower on Monday, with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index down 0.09 percent at 3,397.12. China's purchasing managers' index (PMI) for manufacturing was due on Tuesday. The reading was expected to stay at 50.3, above the 50 line dividing expansion and contraction, according to Bloomberg.

The seat, known for its multicultural and multi-religious voter base, saw two young leaders, Zeeshan Siddique and Varun Sardesai, going head-to-head. While the race was primarily between these two candidates, former Shiv Sena MLA Trupti Sawant of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) added a third dimension to the fight. Zeeshan Siddique, 32, is the sitting MLA who won from Bandra East in 2019 on a Congress ticket. Recently, he joined the Ajit Pawar-led faction of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) to represent the BJP-led Mahayuti. His entry into the election came in the wake of his father Baba Siddique’s tragic murder, which has generated a sympathy wave in the constituency. With an MA in Global Management from Regent’s Business School, London, Zeeshan brought academic expertise alongside five years of legislative experience. His campaign revolved around continuing his father’s legacy, focusing on housing rights and the welfare of weaker sections. Varun Sardesai, 31, represented the younger generation of the Thackeray family as the nephew of Uddhav Thackeray and a close aide to Aaditya Thackeray. He holds a Master’s degree in Construction Engineering and Management from Columbia University and has been active in politics through the Yuva Sena, where he currently serves as secretary. Sardesai, making his electoral debut, aimed to reclaim the seat for the Shiv Sena (UBT) and re-establish its influence in a constituency that has been a stronghold for the Thackerays. He was banking on his organisational skills and the cadre strength of his party, which played a crucial role in the Lok Sabha elections earlier this year. Bandra East is a diverse and dynamic constituency with a mix of slum pockets, middle-class housing colonies, and upscale areas like the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC). The constituency faces pressing issues such as slum redevelopment, infrastructure development, traffic congestion and the lack of public amenities like playgrounds. While Zeeshan Siddique relied on his father’s legacy and a potential sympathy wave, Varun Sardesai looked to consolidate Shiv Sena (UBT) votes and tap into the Congress vote base from the MVA alliance. Trupti Sawant of the MNS may also influence the outcome by drawing Marathi votes. With both candidates representing young, dynamic leadership, this election is shaping up to be a battle of ideologies, community influence, and generational change in one of Mumbai’s most diverse constituencies.
