On the way back to Accra from the Central region some two weeks ago, we were "met" by this noisy bunch behind our car, carrying what looked like the flag of the incumbent administration of the NPP in power...
As they moved closer, it was clear the boisterous boys in the car waving the flags were ineluctably supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Away they went into the capital. Quick glances of observors revealed some sycophants doing the kangaroo dance that has come to epitomise the motto of the party moving the country forward once they are re-elected on 7 December.Tonight's presidential debates organised by the Institute of Economic Affairs will go some way to bringing into sharp relief where really the political temperature is at!

We are having our elections too. I will be happy when it is over as I am thoroughly sick of the entire thing. Might not be so bad if it was kids riding around with signs, but here is is media, phone solicitation, knocks on the door...UGH!
So are these fellows ‘aggressive’ in their electioneering, or are they more ‘enthusiastic’?
Sherry--and it's Halloween on the 31st. What a combination of mixing tricking and treating with electioneering! That's shock horror in itself!;-)
Kris--I would say they're more of the latter;-)
