[F] I [F 40] am a politician who slept her way to the top.

I got into the students union in my college and was the chairman of the union for two years. It was my first exposure to politics and public service and I really got hooked onto it and decided to pursue politics as a career. Once I graduated, with the help of contacts that I made during my college days, I was able to secure an internship in one of the biggest political parties in here as an assistant in PR department. But my ambitions were higher and I soon got involved with active public service, along with my internship. I hoped the people above me would see my dedication and they did. I was told by the local committee head, with whom I gelled well, that the party was thinking about letting me contest in local election that year and you all can imagine how excited I would have been upon knowing this.

But that didn’t happen. To the last moment I was expecting them to release the candidate list with my name in it, but then I saw the list and someone else was contesting instead of me. When I enquired about this to the committee head the reason he gave me was that I am young and I will have more chances in the future. But I knew that wasn’t the truth. That candidate (and some others as well) ‘bought’ the candidature, he didn’t earned it. Now I didn’t had that much money to do something like that but with that experience, I got so poised for success that I was willing to do anything for it.

With that being said, I slept with the committee head. In two months, during the annual meet, I was selected in the team that made the list as his assistant. I kept on ‘pleasing’ him, and he kept on introducing me to big names which gave me more exposure and supported me on my endeavors. What that meant was that now I had to ‘please’ more executives to get what I want. I got married in between to a man I love and I know I was cheating on him, but at the time my career was my biggest priority. I let my party staffs use me even when I was pregnant. Yes, I was that ambitious.

After five years, reelections came around, but I decided not to contest there as I had bigger ambitions. By that time I had became an influential figure in my district (not trying to brag). So I decided to contest for the corporation elections (the body that controls the whole district in here). This time, it was cake walks for me to get candidature. I won. I lobbied again and ‘met’ the people whom I should and I was made the mayor (the head of the corporation council). It’s been couple of years now since then. I didn’t contested in the next election as I wanted to spend some quality time with my family and also take a break from all this. Today, I no longer have to sleep with anyone because I have made a name for myself and hold a significant power and influence in the party and its daily affairs.

Considering the nature of post I have made in here, I would not be revealing my location, party name or any such details and yes, this is a throwaway account. Thank you for your time.
