Lasu Electoral movie: Cast and Characters

Political action is something we feel, breathe and live every second of every day. Political action engulfs us completely in the way we live together and see society. It is something that cannot be denied, it is the reflection of what people want.

Our day is marked by continual upheaval and shifting political power. There isn't a day that goes by without some aspect of our world-changing,  Since politics has moulded the modern world, establishing and destroying the most powerful of nations, politics is a fundamental aspect of mankind. While liberating the most downtrodden, it has also been used to dominate the masses.

It's no more breaking news that it's that time of the semester when potential candidates for the departmental, faculty, and Lasusu level student elections are advertised on posters, flyers, and even the internet. Although politics gives students a chance to participate in school administration, it also gives them a chance to learn more about how government functions and gives them the best chance to construct a portfolio for those who might later decide to enter a wider political arena.

Students react to it in diverse means, which makes any school political election period a whole dramatic movie scene.

Here I would introduce the characters in the Last electoral playout;

 The candidates

These are the ones running for the official posts and the whole election revolves around them. These sets of people would make sure they greet everyone they cross paths with, with an all smiley face, Dem Sabi you or not, they would still greet you, both offline and online you cannot get to see an end to their greetings.

 

They often hang around joints they consider to be students' favorites. They get to meet new students, and if you're lucky enough to be in a shuttle with them, they could pay for the fare, anything to just get you to be on their side of the electoral scene.


The Hi -watt batteries:



  Let me start these sets with an exclamation ahhh!! These are the ones using paracetamol on another person's headache. They are often the social butterflies of the school, influencers of all sorts and they are real political canvassers. They would go to any length to make sure their candidates are known, they have a hypnotic effect in their conversation, and you'll always want to see light in whatever they're saying. Mostly in the business of pasting fliers and telling people about their candidates. Charged like lightning bolts they spread their candidate's names as if they are being paid for it.


They are also regarded to be loyalists.


*The less concerned:



In the set " Awa o go Kan kan" they don't just care, their only assignment in school is to study, and their school is oblivious to any political vibe. These do everything in their power to edit any form of political trend, more like giving a lackadaisical attitude to it.


* the humpy dumpy:


 I would consider this character to be the worst in the play out of politics. The ones sitting on the fence,  are just one confused set of people. They might have spent all of their days, even most of their lecture hours campaigning and canvassing, but when it gets to the D day, they disappear into thin air. What then is the use of your voice if you can't put it into action?


*the spectators



These people are just there to watch the whole drama play out well. They would come out and vote but the preceding drama was not any of their business.


 So which are you?๐Ÿ˜
