Ghana has been experiencing power outages for the last three years, making them the longest the country has experienced.
An Actress and a Rapper aren’t the first people who come to mind as political campaigners. But actress Yvonne Nelson and rapper Sarkodie have been shouting the loudest about the outages.
Nelson has been urging people to tweet the president. And Sarkodie has even released a song about the power outages. The two have united to put on a vigil in protest.
But it is unusual for celebrities to get involved in Ghanaian politics and they have come in for criticism.
A former presidential aide, Alhaji Halidu Haruna, suggested that celebrities who were campaigning did not sound “reasonable” because they were “engaged in prostitution”. This did not go down well and he has since apologised.
