In a recent development in the U.S. presidential race, Vice President Kamala Harris has received a strong endorsement from the Louisiana delegation to the Democratic National Convention (DNC).

During a virtual meeting where delegates cast their votes, Harris secured an “overwhelming majority,” solidifying her position as the Democratic candidate for the upcoming election.

Randal Gaines, the Chair of both the Louisiana Democratic Party and the state’s delegation to the DNC, expressed his gratitude towards President Joe Biden for his remarkable leadership and for stepping aside from the presidential race.

In a statement, Gaines emphasized the delegation’s commitment to upholding Biden’s legacy and working diligently to retain the White House under Democratic control.

Gaines highlighted the unity within the party by announcing that Louisiana’s Democratic delegates are fully backing Vice President Harris as their chosen nominee.

He underscored the importance of this endorsement by stressing that it is a critical step toward uniting the party and ensuring a victory over Republican candidate Donald Trump.

Gaines also anticipated a dynamic and historic Democratic National Convention, noting that Harris would be the first Black woman to receive the party’s presidential nomination.

The endorsement reflects the party’s dedication to continuing the progress and achievements of the Biden administration.

Kenneth Okonkwo has fired back at Peter Obi, challenging him to explain how he was betrayed after he left the Labour Party. Speaking on Channels TV’s Sunday Politics, the former Labour Party Presidential Campaign Spokesman made it clear that while he worked for Obi, his loyalty was total.

“I never spoke to any politician or political party while I worked for him. I was 100% committed,” Okonkwo said. He explained that when he decided to step away, he made it public and stated clearly that he would no longer speak for Obi.

“People throwing words around don’t even understand what betrayal means,” he added, noting that whatever anyone says about him reflects who they are, not who he is. Okonkwo left the Labour Party in July 2024, following his frustrations with the party’s internal crisis and Obi’s silence on the issues.

He also dismissed claims that he collected money or property from Obi during the campaign. Reacting to Obi’s recent remarks, Okonkwo pointed out that comparing the situation to Jesus and his disciples makes it seem like Obi sees himself as Jesus. “How do you betray someone you’re no longer working for?” he asked.

Veteran Nollywood actor Kenneth Okonkwo has opened up about what he calls a betrayal by Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party. In a recent interview with Symfoni, Okonkwo revealed that his decision to quit the party earlier in February 2025 was influenced by Obi’s actions during a leadership crisis within the party.

Okonkwo, who once served as a spokesperson for Obi’s presidential campaign, said the former Anambra State governor ignored his counsel and returned to support the Julius Abure-led faction—despite ongoing controversies surrounding that group. He explained that Obi was misinformed by party executives who claimed that the Abure-led camp had been recognised by INEC. But in his view, Obi’s move went against everything he had previously stood for.

“Any serious politician knows how not to be misled,” Okonkwo said. “But in this case, it was Obi who betrayed me. I warned him—these people are not democratic. INEC recognition isn’t enough reason to return to a group that goes against the values you publicly uphold. If you align with them again, you risk your political credibility and everything you’ve worked for.”
