power monger

Similiar to whoemonger, however, instead of an attraction to prostitues the word describes a person who enjoys being surrounded by power, attention and self-imposed importance. They always strive for more attention and influence.

Person A: I'm not really sure who I want to vote for. I think Hillary Clinton is qualified to be the President, but I just don't like her.

Person B: Yeah, maybe she is qualified but she's a certified power monger. Power mongers never win.
