Time to be part of campaign I never rejected (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evening

'time' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'part of campaign i never rejected' is the wordplay.
'part of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'rejected' says the letters should be written backwards.
'gnineve' can be found hidden inside 'campaign i never'.
'gnineve' backwards is 'EVENING'.

'to be' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for evening that I've seen before include "somewhat late in the day" , "Balancing" , "Late time of day" , "Early night" , "Late afternoon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
