Morphology
The meaning 'the domain in which political activity takes place' is directly and predictably composed from 'political' (relating to politics) and 'sphere' (an area or domain). This usage of 'sphere' as a metaphor for a domain is common cross-linguistically and follows regular compositional patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words should be able to infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Political sphere uses sphere as a simple picture of a round space or circle that holds things, and political tells what goes inside. So it means 'the area or domain where political activity and debate happen'.
