Banishment and Chanjelin Ward

My prey has a Kiasyd with Chanjelin Ward on it. My Vampire of higher capacity calls a Political Action, Banishment. There are no blockers, so I name the aforementioned Kiasyd. Does my Vampire have to burn a blood (an action against the Kiasyd with the Ward) and then can she burn it to cause the political action to fail, as it the Kiasyd is the target? I would have said no, as the political action is an undirected action to which the Kiasyd becomes part of the referenda, not a directed action against the Kiasyd named. However, obviously, my prey said otherwise. As I was half asleep at the time, I stated my arguement, but backed down, and as such, my Ventrue Prince lost a blood, and then the action failed as the Ward was burnt. Who was right?

No. It is not directed at the Kiasyd. > I would have said no, as the political action is an undirected > action to which the Kiasyd becomes part of the referenda, not > a directed action against the Kiasyd named.
