A DECLARATION BY a top politician that his party will
conduct nominations for all elective positions has rattled incumbents in a
certain part of the country. Why? Some of them had assumed they would be handed
direct tickets. In previous elections, a number of MPs and senators were given
direct tickets and they were expecting the same script would be used in 2027.
Some leaders have began hatching a plot to “snatch” nomination certificates
irrespective of the method used. In the region, securing the party ticket is
considered a battle half won and so politicians do all within their financial
capacity to bag it.

A WHISTLEBLOWER IN one of the coastal counties is
terrified for his life. The man has sought police protection after word went
out that goons and associates of the governor were after his life. He also
wants the police to protect him from local contractors who are baying for his
blood. The contractors have declared the whistleblower a dead man walking after
he exposed how they had been raising invoices despite supplying nothing to the
county.

AS POLITICS HEATS up across the country,
professionals from a county in Eastern region have given the assembly speaker a
dressing down that remains the talk of the town. The professionals took issue
with the speaker’s alleged habit of arm-twisting MCAs. Sounding the warning
during a local meeting, they rebuked the speaker for using crude methods like
threatening never to assign MCAs any foreign travels if they refused to toe the
line. They also reprimanded the speaker for galivanting from ward to ward to
launch projects. They taunted him to seek an MCA’s seat in 2027 if he so loves
the work of a ward rep.
