A legislator's much-hyped event has sparked chatter in political circles after local elected leaders seemingly stayed away despite expectations it would launch his bid for a higher office. The gathering attracted leaders and guests from neighbouring counties and beyond, but the conspicuous absence of leaders from his backyard stole the spotlight. Insiders interpreted the no-show as a purported silent but powerful statement by those unconvinced about his suitability for the bigger seat. Critics say seeking higher office without first consolidating support at home could turn into a risky political gamble for the ambitious lawmaker.

TWO STATE OPERATIVES are reportedly plotting to secure a political figure an invitation to the high table, but their efforts are said to be backfiring at every turn.
