CORRIDORS OF POWER

A CLEVER POLITICAL deal is being hammered regarding the leadership of an important county. The scheming is in top gear following a meeting of some political bigwigs recently. Youthful politicos who could be casualties of the new political rearrangment are reportedly banding together to run on one coalition. Most of their advisers are however split, with some saying the new political direction could be suicidal. There are concerns that if they don’t act fast, their political adversaries could spring up with a stronger narrative that will be difficult to counter.

A FIRST-TERM GOVERNOR has become so unpopular in his county that a political novice could beat him with a landslide in 2027. The governor’s party leader, who has been listening to the ‘ground’, has cut down his interactions with the beleaguered county boss, at least publicly, because he does not want to be seen as condoning lacklustre leadership. The county boss, in readiness for any eventuality, is now rekindling his relationship with the leaders of a rival party.

AN MP WHO stepped aside for a current governor after intense horse trading is causing jitters in his county. In the deal, the MP was promised that the county boss would run for one term and then step down for him in 2027. But the lawmaker has smelt a rat and has been telling all and sundry that he is no longer sure the party will honour its word. The man has been playing to the public an audio clip in which the party leader made the promise. He is no doubt burning the midnight oil to chart a new course for himself.

AN OUTSPOKEN GOVERNOR is secretly shopping for a new party in case he does not bag the nomination of his current outfit for the next election. What is worrying the county chief more is the entry of the area woman representative in the race. The woman MP is said to be the party leader’s favourite, owing to her unflinching loyalty. But it is also believed that the female politician is a project of the party boss in the county and that she might even be rigged in at the primaries.
