A female politician has sent tongues wagging after her campaigns seemingly lost the allure and zest associated with her previous drives. After winning the ticket of a popular political party, the politician has only been traversing the county with a single pick-up vehicle, a stark contrast with her initially popular high-end vote hunt drives across the county. Word has it that the politician is broke. She is said to have confided to her close confidants that she is funding her campaigns from her own salary without any extra source of income. A tough time ahead indeed for the aspirant.

A youthful lawmaker is the talk of town over his philandering ways, which he is said to have taken a notch higher by going for an old dear who has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. The man is said to have taken in a popular divorcee whose previous relationship ended acrimoniously, the bedroom secrets spilling out into the public. His colleagues were overheard whispering how the man has suddenly changed and gives priority to the woman’s demands at the expense of carrying out his legislative work. They say that whenever they want to engage the MP on parliamentary matters, he is usually unavailable and would come with all manner of excuses if he happens to resurface.

A major political formation in the country may suffer some political tremors in the coming days after a party leader threatened to quit over unfulfilled promises. The official has been courting another camp in the last few weeks but efforts to formalise the relationship failed to materialise. However, after details emerged that he had been left out of some campaign arrangements, he is said to be threatening to quit in a huff and remain neutral in the political terrain ahead of the polls. Critics have warned that the politician is just keen on seeking attention for facilitation and not really serious about his departure.
