A GUBERNATORIAL ASPIRANT is seething with anger after his political gamble misfired. The man had contributed handsomely to winning teams in a competition organised by a local leader, apparently expecting public recognition. Instead of attending, he allegedly sent his online bloggers and supposedly gave them hundreds of thousands of shillings to pay supporters to chant his name when his contribution was announced. But the scheme collapsed spectacularly. Not only did the crowd jeer but his name was also omitted from the online list of donors. Reportedly feeling betrayed, the aspirant is now demanding a refund.

JUST WHAT IS going on between two leaders of a devolved unit who took power as an indivisible pair? Well, observers note that all is not well between the two, going by recent events where the chief reportedly failed to recognise the deputy when introducing members of the devolved government. A fly on the wall points to deep-running divisions occasioned by competing political interests. A looming high-stakes contest is said to have made things worse, with each side supposedly rearing to prove their mettle in calling the shorts.

TOP REGIONAL LEADERS of a prominent party are displeased with a colleague’s recent rejection of an offer from the powers that be. The rejected leader allegedly claims a senior regional politico opposed him and is shocked that authorities yielded to pressure. Reports suggest the influential figure, now operating behind the scenes, is tightening control over the region in preparation for the 2027 elections. Party members have expressed their unease with the man’s behind-the-scenes manoeuvring. They say it signals a strategic push to consolidate power ahead of the polls, to the party’s disadvantage.

A LAWMAKERS IS apparently yet to recover from a shocking loss of millions of shillings
recently. The politico reportedly lost the money
to a relative but has had challenges pursuing
the same, owing to the differences that played
between him and the relative. Allegedly unable
to confront the “demons”, the politico is said to
have resorted to the brown bottle to drown his
sorrows. Insiders fear the man is supposedly
losing it fast.
