Amidst Ghana's political landscape, Mike Oquaye Jr., the NPP Parliamentary candidate for Dome Kwabenya, has stirred controversy with an unconventional campaign tactic. Seeking to secure the Dome Kwabenya seat for his party in the December 7, 2024, elections, Oquaye has embarked on a door-to-door campaign. However, his recent act of washing a woman's underwear during his campaign has sparked mixed reactions among Nigerians.
Some individuals expressed disdain for what they perceived as a manipulative political strategy, while others interpreted it as a symbolic gesture of the services Oquaye might render if elected. One commenter humorously suggested that washing underwear might be insignificant compared to other tasks, sparking a conversation about the integrity of political candidates.
The incident prompted reflections on the ethical boundaries of political campaigning, with comparisons drawn to similar practices in Nigerian politics. Some participants expressed disbelief at the extent politicians would go to secure votes, while others lamented the prevalence of dishonorable figures in African politics.
