An official from a county in Western Kenya is a man under siege after it emerged that his sponsoring party is allegedly unhappy with him. Some of the party linchpins have accused him of not being supportive on party matters after he allegedly declined a meeting with the party leader. It is not clear why the county official did not attend the key meeting a few days ago, but insiders say there is a feeling that the official believes he was betrayed. The party leader has allegedly backed the official's main rival for the county top seat in 2027, sparking hostilities. The county official is now working on Plan B in case he is denied the party ticket.
