As the December 7, 2024 elections approach, politicians in Ghana are making every effort to secure victory by wooing the electorate at the least opportunity.
In this context, Benjamin Narteh Ayiku, the Member of Parliament(MP) for the Ledzokuku constituency, has taken a unique approach to connect with his constituents.
In a video MyNewsGH.com came across, Ayiku was seen preparing banku for a constituent during a door-to-door campaign.
The video, initially posted by blogger Edhub, shows the MP dressed smartly and actively participating in this initiative, which has elicited various interpretations.
The MP was accompanied by supporters wearing T-shirts emblazoned with his image, further emphasizing his commitment to engaging with the community on a personal level.
This gesture is seen as an effort to demonstrate his dedication to the people he represents and to garner support for his re-election bid.
This approach is not unique to Ayiku. Politicians worldwide have often engaged in community activities to connect with voters and show their dedication to public service.
Benjamin Narteh Ayiku’s recent initiative of preparing banku for a constituent is a continuation of this tradition of politicians engaging in community activities to connect with voters.
As the December elections approach, such gestures are likely to play a significant role in shaping public perception and influencing voter decisions.
By actively participating in community life, politicians can demonstrate their dedication to public service and build stronger connections with their constituents.
