He has a suit (10)

I believe the answer is:

petitioner

'he has a suit' is the definition.
(someone with a campaign or suit)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for petitioner that I've seen before include "One with a suit" , "One making appeal to authority" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News and The Globe and Mail.
