'Mahama rice' trends on social media

With 10 days to go before the December 2016 election, political parties have introduced several campaign schemes intended to attract votes.

One of those schemes involves printing pictures of candidates on products and distributing them to the members of the public for free.

A sachet of rice branded with a picture of President John Mahama is the latest campaign product to go viral on social media.
