An MP in one of the strategic counties has triggered a political storm. The MP has forced his rivals back to the drawing board with his deep pockets. He has been hosting huge delegations at his rural home and dishing out massive tokens. Three of his rivals are worried that the sitting lawmaker has turned them into spectators in the race. Lately, the MP has also deployed his wife who is meeting small groups across the constituency, heightening campaigns ahead of next week's polls. Initially, the MP had been written off after reports emerged that his prime property had been auctioned. He is now turning the tables on his main opponent.
