WHO IS THIS top state functionary
who has kept the power brokers guessing about his next move? The man has
maintained a curious silence despite being
linked to several political realignments.
Those close to him say he is listening to
the ground. He had earlier been rumoured
to be eyeing the gubernatorial seat in his
county. His critics, however, say the man is
allegedly confused on whether to continue
serving or launch his political campaigns
for a possible comeback.

A SENIOR GOVERNMENT official’s
frequent international engagements have
started raising eyebrows within the key
ministry he serves in. Why? There are
rumours that the trips double as platforms
for strategic networking beyond official
duties. Whispers in the corridors hint that
the official is allegedly torn between loyalty
to his current role and his personal ambitions for the future. He is uncertain if he will
be retained in the same position after the
next election.

A SECTION OF influential leaders from a
vote-rich region has suddenly toned down
its public criticism against the powers that
be. Are they sensing something? Well,
those in the know whisper that silence
is strategic, they are buying time as they
reorganise ahead of a decisive political
push. We are told there is an intense mobilisation ongoing on the ground to win back
masses. The group is understandably also
planning a delegation to the house at the
hill to make their stand known.

A PROMINENT CITY businessman who
had kept a distance from politics is back in
the mix. The man has been attending high-level meetings organised by politicians
allied to a particular political camp, sending
mixed signals about his next move. His
re-emergence has sparked speculation
about possible new alignments. Our
small bird says he allegedly has already
announced that he doesn’t want to make a
mistake this time around.
