As the December 7 general elections approach and campaign activities heat up, with political contenders facing off against each other, some residents of Sekondi in the Western Region have taken a rather unexpected and outlandish approach to politics.
A video circulating on social media captures supporters of the incumbent New Patriotic Party (NPP) washing the campaign vehicle of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, Lawyer Blay Nyameke Armah.
What makes this political oddity even more interesting is the fact that the NPP women were wearing T-shirts with their party’s symbol boldly displayed while washing the campaign vehicle of the opposition candidate. Adding to the bizarreness of the gesture is the fact that they were wearing aprons bearing the image of Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP's presidential candidate.
It is unclear why the NPP supporters chose to wash the NDC candidate’s vehicle, what they hoped to achieve, or how their party in the Sekondi constituency in the Western Region would perceive this development.
However, a Ghanaian blog on X described the gesture as a demonstration of “peace, love, and respect” in diversity.
“Peace, love, and respect were demonstrated despite different political party affiliations, as some ladies who support the NPP washed the campaign vehicle of NDC parliamentary candidate Lawyer Blay Nyameke Armah in Sekondi,” the video was captioned.
With exactly sixty (60) days to the general elections, political campaign activities have intensified, with candidates from various political parties, as well as independent candidates, touring different parts of the country to forcefully present their campaign messages to the electorate.
