yes, and in addition to gaining grassroots mobilization skills, former provincial administration politicians also seem to still be taking orders from the executive, able to cloak deep state initiatives in a political haze. they may still be a shadow state machinery within politicio. Not just in politics, you will find them in government (useless non-technical posiitons known as secretaries in almost every ministry) academia, judiciary, business etc. They remain the eyes and ears of the state. Now this mongol gachagua may be part of such a deep state network. very deep state.
