The campaign for the Odododiodio by-election, took a humourous turn yesterday when two of the four contestants, New Patriotic Party (NPP)’s Lennox Mankattah and Mr. Christian Shanco Bruce, the 64-year-old candidate for the Convention People’s Party (CPP) clashed over the use of the English language.
The two were interviewed on an Accra based radio station so that each of them could give an account of what transpired at the Palladium Cinema hall on Tuesday, during the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA)-organised forum for the four candidates contesting the August 30 by-election in the constituency.
Describing the action that triggered Mankattah’s decision to walk out of the programme, Mr. Shanco Bruce explained that midway into Mankattah’s delivery, “there were cheers and boos from the crowd which made Mankattah to froze, to freeze…and stop“.
