CORRIDORS: Popular woman rep on spot for berating voters
The politician has become morose and easily irritable lately.
Colleagues now joke that while his political vision is sharp, his personal focus might need urgent realignment
In Summary
A flashy politico is apparently in hot water at home after his wife got tired of his public “sightseeing.” The sharp-suited lawmaker, supposedly known for his gift of the garb, was allegedly caught yet again openly admiring passing curves at a weekend event. Witnesses say his gaze was so obvious it drew knowing smiles from the crowd. Insiders claim his furious spouse later warned that his “neck gymnastics” are fast becoming a public embarrassment. Colleagues now joke that while his political vision is sharp, his personal focus might need urgent realignment — preferably before the next public function.

The ex-girlfriend of a lawyer has become the talk of political circles after whispers emerged that she is allegedly now romantically linked to an influential political official. Sources claim the politico recently used his influence to secure her a plum job in government — a move that raised eyebrows among colleagues. But insiders say the story hasn’t ended there. The new recruit is reportedly pressing her political beau for yet another favour: a transfer to an even more influential post. Those in the know joke that in this love story, ambition might just outshine romance.

In one of the region’s newest political outfits, a simmering rivalry is threatening to spill into the open as two big personalities jostle for dominance. On one side is the fiery individual whose rapid rise has been apparently fueled by a reputation for blunt talk and grassroots mobilization. On the other is a seasoned political operator claiming to be eying a big job. Insiders whisper that the grassroots mobiliser, buoyed by growing popularity, believes he commands far more sway in the party than his veteran counterpart. The old hand, however, is said to be quietly rallying loyalists, determined not to be upstaged in a party he helped nurture. What began as polite differences over strategy is now morphing into a full-blown power contest — with murmurs of factional camps, secret meetings, and a looming showdown that could split the young party down the middle.

An MP, long whispered to be the close companion of a once-powerful senior official, is reportedly growing uneasy about her political future. With elections still far off, a wave of strong aspirants has begun circling her constituency, holding strategic fundraisers and winning over key grassroots leaders. Party insiders say the legislator, who ostensibly rode into office on a tide of influence and whispered endorsements, now seemingly fears her grip on the seat is slipping. Rivals quietly argue that the “old networks” and big money, largely from alleged graft deals she relied on are fading fast — and without them, her once-commanding presence may prove little match for hungry newcomers.
