A member of Parliament from a
cosmopolitan town is having trouble after his main rival in the 2022
polls started getting cosy with a political godfather. The MP had been
in good books with the political king for a long time until the latest
development. While it's not clear if the kingpin plans to back the MP's
opponent in the 2027 elections, the relationship is quite telling and
has rattled the lawmaker. A bid by the MP to seek a meeting with the
bigwig flopped after he allegedly rebuffed that he won't see the MP now
until it is convenient for him. The lawmaker had now panicked after the
kingpin hosted some opinion leaders from the constituency at his rural
home.
A top executive who has been pushing
for the extension of his contract at a strategic state agency appears to
have given up. This is after a powerful individual in government flatly
told him that his goose is cooked and that he will be kicked out once
his contract expires in a few weeks. Stunned by the revelation, the man
assembled lawmakers from his backyard to pile political pressure. During
the meeting, the MPs pitched the CEO's case and were told to wait for
feedback in due course. Two months later, nothing has come from the
office.

Is a senior politico behind
an alleged case challenging the alleged dissolution of a public entity
ahead of the 2027 polls? There are reports that the man could have
changed his mind after realizing that his entity had been completely
obliterated, leaving him politically exposed. It is claimed that the
man, fearing that he could soon be thrown under the bus, had decided to
revive efforts to reclaim the entity that has since been declared
extinguished. Whether he will succeed in his bid or not is a matter that
time will tell. In the meantime, he has assured his troops to be
cautious going forward and wait for his signal at the right time as the
battle shifts to the corridors of justice.
