Trendy figure: seizing power, his period in office finished early (7)
I believe the answer is:
hipster
This clue could be a double definition.
'trendy' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'figure seizing power his period in office finished early' is the second definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hipster that I've seen before include "Trendsetter" , "fitting below the waist" , "jazz he likes" , "Fashionable person" , "Dedicated follower of fashion" .)
