Celebrities Regret Campaining For Prez Mahama

Celebrities, who campaigned for John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress government, in the run-up to the December 7, 2012 elections, have begun beating a retreat, citing the worsening conditions of living in the country as the reason. One of such celebrities is the first runner-up of Miss Malaika 2011, Alexandra Ayirebi-Acquah. The young beauty queen first made political news when she mounted an NDC platform in Ho during the official launch of the NDC�s 2012 manifesto. At the manifesto launch, Miss Ayirebi-Acquah trumpeted the achievements of the NDC�s �Better Ghana� agenda which, she said, had transformed her life and further went to the extent of asking the electorate to vote massively for John Mahama and the NDC. It, however, appears recent conditions in the country, which have been described as worse in every part of the country, after the elections, have made the beauty queen regret her actions during the election campaign. She expressed her frustration with the current load shedding and petroleum price hikes, bemoaning what she calls the absence of �fear�on the part of the NDC government for the people.
