The National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Hohoe, Thomas Worlanyo, has made waves on social media after videos surfaced of him peeling cassava for market women.
It is believed that this is part of his campaign strategy to win votes in the Volta Region ahead of the 2024 elections.
The viral videos show Worlanyo peeling cassava while the women sing praises for his gesture, a common sight in Ghana where politicians often engage in acts of service to the people to gain support.
Worlanyo is vying for the Hohoe seat against Peter Amewu in a bid to reclaim it for the National Democratic Congress.
The videos have sparked a discussion on social media, with some commending Worlanyo’s efforts to connect with the people, while others criticize it as a mere political stunt.
As the 2024 elections draw closer, it remains to be seen whether Worlanyo’s unconventional campaign approach will pay off.
