Are court jesters rearing to eject an embattled party official and replace him with a former close aide of a top opposition figure? We are told power barons want the youthful man to lead a top party because he will give it the semblance of a national appeal and tap into a constituency of voters that did not support the ruling party in the past polls. They say the current official to be ejected will be given another assignment that precludes him from being a party player.

A man with a well-known ambition for a big job is frustrating his backers. Why? He can’t seem to make his mind on where to place his focus. While he should focus on his ambition that has backing from unexpected quarters, his allies complain he still meddles with local power dynamics, even making pronouncements that seem to antagonise those he needs. For example, his backers wonder, what values does meeting local ethnic groups and their endorsement add to his ambition?

A section of MPs who broke ranks with their sponsoring party to back a certain formation are reportedly openly complaining about an alleged deceit by their new partners. They recently embarrassed a key figure when they narrated how their new relationship is sustained by a pile of lies and false promises, making them appear as foolish before the electorate. They say promises, ranging from personal help to public projects, are all in limbo despite risking their political careers.
