A former MP who recently ditched her former political party is said to be headed for a key state appointment. The ex-lawmaker has recently reportedly been meeting who is who in the circles of power. Twice, she has been supposedly spotted walking out of a powerful office after holding talks with a senior state functionary. She is said to have negotiated her way within the government and could soon land a big job in return for her support. She was tasked to mobilise anti-opposition protests in her backyard and allegedly plan rallies to openly disown her former political outfit.

Is a city MP shifting his political base to the village to flex muscles with the big names from his land? It seems so, considering the numerous activities the man has held in his rural backyard lately. Keen observers say the abrasive politician from the lake region is keen on unsettling the waters for those who had lined up to succeed the area governor who is serving his last term. Those in the know say the man has supposedly asked the county boss not to endorse any successor, but to allow the voters to prove who calls the shots in the region.

A senior politician’s visit to a household in a semi-arid settlement has sparked talk of what is about to go down. The man was purportedly spotted at the home of a renowned broker in the wee hours of the day. A fly on the wall whispered to Corridors of Power that the visit was not an ordinary one, and a good deal could be in the offing for the politico. The worry of those who know is that the issue they were negotiating about has triggered serious animosity between clashing forces in the said neighbourhood.
