Political Analyst says this is a bad strategy
Speaking exclusively to YEN.com.gh, Political Analyst Mussa Dankwa, who is the Head of Polls at Global Info Analytics, criticised such campaigning methods. In his view, they could even discourage voters from choosing the candidate.
"Zero and it could potentially cost the candidates because this is not 2000. For smarter voters, even money will not work even though they are hungry."
