A key proponent of the Hustler Nation from Nyanza is conspicuously missing from the frenetic national campaigns. After weeks of speculation, it has emerged that the politician retreated to his constituency to neutralise a growing wave of opposition from a newcomer. The new aspirant is said to be giving the MP a run for his money, threatening his bid to retain the seat. Over the last one month, the politician has camped in the MP's local clan with a bag of benefits, turning the tide on his rival as the clock ticks down to the August polls. The MP is said to have returned with deep pockets with determination to reclaim his lost glory.
