Election phobia

Ra-Blue sent an SOS and summoned his confidants. "It seems that our alliance plan is going haywire. You have to find a way to stop any other person coming forward as the common candidate. Even die-hard party supporters can think that I have an election phobia and I'm scared to contest," Ra-Blue told them.

Es Bee's warning

Es Bee met his party leader to discuss the Elephant Party's plan to field a common candidate. "Don't get caught to an SLFP rebel who doesn't have public support," he said referring to Wedding Sam. "If you can't face the election as the leader, I could pilot the party to victory," Es Bee said.

Political somersault?

Is Wedding Sam taking the Elephant Party from pillar to post? While Sam is day-dreaming to get the Retired General as their common candidate for the Prez election, Es Bee is planning to return to the Hand Party if that materialises. "I will not tolerate that. How can an outsider invade our party? If our leader wants a General, I might as well go back to my old home," Es Bee had told a fellow Em Pee from his reformist group.

Election agendas

The Elephants and Bell Boys are engaged in a duel to woo the Retired General. Wedding Sam is keen that the General should be the common candidate. Ra-Blue has other ideas - to use the General's name and later drop him and face his third successive Prez election. The Bell Boys want a common platform and have a so-called independent person.

Western hands

Wedding Sam, along with Mah-Know Gun and Ha-Cream were seen doing deep-low-matic rounds. It seems that the trio is operating with the blessings of a few Western hands. They continue to patronise key deep-low-matic functions. Who needs a common candidate after all?
