Western MP has ear of big man, orders colleagues around

Three MPs from Western were heard over the weekend cursing one of their colleagues in the region who they said has amassed more power in the shadow of their party leader, elbowing them from the ears of the big man. The trio complained that the man has the habit of ordering around fellow elected leaders like children and is fond of bulldozing his way. They say the man has used the recently concluded party primaries to stamp his authority, even allegedly giving unilateral orders to party election organs on who to get or lose their certificates. They were heard pleading on a phone call with an unnamed person to save them from the hand of the hawkish man. It’s not clear whether their plea will reach the right ears.
