Veteran politicians who lost can consider being consultants to first-time politicians. They can help them navigate these murky waters for a fee.

Farming

If one is not good at running a business they can consider getting employed, what matter is that the mullah keeps flowing in.

Given one no longer has a salary at the end of the month, it is important to make sure you have a source of income.

Instead of focusing on your loss, one can take advantage of the free time to tour the country and promote local tourism.
