POLITICAL PUNDITS ARE questioning the low-key approach by major political formations in the recent by-election campaigns, a sharp departure from the usual chest-thumping and aggressive mobilisation associated with such contests. Curiously, not a single high-powered campaign team was dispatched to the battlegrounds, leaving local candidates to largely fend for themselves. The silence from the big parties has now reportedly triggered murmurs, with some insiders suggesting the formations may have quietly read the mood on the ground and opted to avoid possible embarrassment.

A POLITICIAN FROM Western is reportedly facing mounting anger from teachers following what tutors have allegedly described as degrading and dismissive remarks made during the recent reshuffle in the education sector. The demeaning comments are said to have sparked outrage among educators who now accuse the leader of belittling their role. Insiders say the backlash has reportedly rattled the politician, especially after angry tutors vowed to teach him a lesson at the ballot in just 14 months’ time. The teachers have vowed to quietly mobilise colleagues and communities against the politician.

THERE IS GROWING concern over a vocal county chief whose appetite for the bottle is now said to be reportedly interfering with service delivery. The first-term boss, whose re-election prospects are reportedly hanging by a thread, is alleged to spend most of his days in an intoxicated state, with insiders claiming he even walks into crucial meetings visibly inebriated. What has left close allies worried is that the governor’s once tight-knit inner circle has reportedly been replaced by a new crop of hard-partying companions accused of fuelling the habit. Family members are now said to be privately blaming the new company for the rapid decline, even as senior county officials supposedly struggle to keep government operations running smoothly.
