Clustering is the most popular strategy for increasing the lifetime of a wireless sensor network, which immediately leads to a stronger routing process. This process requires the processing of sensor nodes into clusters and assigning relevant cluster heads to each cluster. This paper aims to implement a new hybrid algorithm called Over taker Assisted Political Update (OA-PU) for selecting an efficient cluster head. This cluster head is selected based upon four factors, namely energy, distance, cluster radius, and time. The hybrid algorithm is a combination of the Fusion Rider Optimization Algorithm (F-ROA) as well as a natureinspired Political Optimization Algorithm (PO). Fusion-ROA depends on groups of riders that are attempting to reach the goal and PO is a state of the art metaheuristic optimization methodology for global and structural analysis performance prediction in the WSN environment. In terms of alive node analysis, cost function analysis, and energy analysis, the proposed OA-PU outperforms conventional approaches. Consequently, the lifetime of WSN is increased and an optimal system is developed.
