The New False announcement video features symbols of the country's major political parties leveraging the frenzy around the December 7 elections.

His Cheddar-inspired campaign has hiked up the anticipation for his upcoming special, scheduled for September 28 at the UPSA Auditorium.

The satiric radio and TV show host pulled a similar stunt last year with his Can Pain Message special, which was heralded by ace Ghanaian satirist Kwaku Sintim Misa.

Speaking about the New False campaign and the upcoming speacial Lekzy Decomic told YEN.com.gh that,

"Its a build up from last year. I wanted some unconventional ways to reach the people. I realise that within arpund this time, Cheddar was the only one who used an approach that really struck me. Why reinvent the wheel when there is already an existing template. It has nothing to do with denigrating his image. If for anything at all, what I did has broached several conversations about Cheddar and his preaidential ambition as well."
