During his campaign visit in the Ashanti Region, particularly in the Adansi Asokwa seat, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) presidential candidate, has once again drawn attention.

However, many were quick to dismiss the action as a standard campaign tactic. Only during elections do they do this. One person asked, "Will you see them eating by the roadside after they win?"
