Ghanaian broadcast journalist, Bridget Otoo, has described the New Patriotic Party’s(NPP) Number 1 pick during the first round of balloting as ‘Just Shenanigans’ and they being aware of their actions.
Bridget quoted and retweeted a post made by TV3 with the words “Just Shenanigans, they knew what they were doing….”
This comes after, NPP Director of Elections, Evans Nimako picked Number 1 for the party during the first round of balloting for the party’s presidential candidate.
Her comments, appears to reflect skepticism or criticism about the outcome of the balloting process for the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) upcoming presidential election.
Could her remarks also suggests that she feels the result might have been manipulated, hence her description of the situation as “shenanigans”?
The number 1 spot on the ballot often holds symbolic value, which may be why Bridget is implying some level of strategy behind it.
Her comment can also be a critique of internal party politics and the transparency of the process.
