Candidates engage in activities they would not do on a regular day just to win votes.
Some MPs have been captured in the past unbraiding hair, preparing banku, folding clothes, and performing other household chores just to woo constituents.
In a video posted on X by EDHUB, the MP for Kwesimintsim was seen clinging to the gate of a mini bus, a common practice that most trotro mates engage in.
Dressed in white long-sleeves and black trousers with black and white sneakers, Hamid Armah was seen shaking hands with people while playing the role of a trotro mate.
A voice was heard shouting the destinations of the minibus while onlookers happily watched the MP.
Hamid Armah’s actions have sparked mixed reactions, including mockery, on social media.
