Wang Ye had a flash of insight as he suddenly recalled the inexplicable flocking of First Faction members to his side not long ago.
He felt he was on the verge of grasping the crux of the matter!
The First Faction had never been a monolith!
Even Grezlov admitted that his faction was riddled with complex internal divisions and relationships.
Initially formed by the merging of several different parties, it represented a variety of interests. Although in the last election, they had unanimously nominated Puding as their presidential candidate—who indeed succeeded—the past few years had seen a shift in many people's thinking.
Moreover, Puding had never joined the First Faction. Even though the heads of various governmental departments were from the First Faction, and his trusted subordinates were mostly from the same Faction,
he could not be equated with the First Faction!
For Puding, besides having a conflict with the Second Faction, all other factions supported him.
