<\/p>\nScores of supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have started a social media campaign in solidarity with their flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo, after he was mocked by some supporters of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) for drinking a local fruit drink, Kalyppo, while on his campaign tour.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Some NDC supporters took on the flagbearer earlier this week after a photo of him sipping the drink went viral on social media.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n The supporters said, they wondered why the NPP flagbearer would sip an inexpensive fruit juice predominantly enjoyed by school pupils.<\/p>\n But some supporters of the NPP chastised the NDC supporters for what they described as \u201cirrelevant\u201d comments.<\/p>\n They argued that Nana Addo\u2019s act was not out of place and that it demonstrated his commitment to the use of Made-in-Ghana products to promote the local economy.<\/p>\n The supporters shared selfies of themselves sipping Kalyppo and nominated friends to do same as a means of turning the development into a positive drive for the consumption of local products.<\/p>\n Some NPP MPs and party executives like Ursula Owusu, Anthony Karbo, Perry Okudzeto and John Boadu have also got in on the action.<\/p>\n![\"kalyppo-1\"](\"http:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Kalyppo-1-1.jpg\")
