Former President John Agyekum Kufuor was today [Sunday], pictured sipping a Kalyppo drink at the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) manifesto launch, which has been interpreted as his endorsement of the\u00a0Kalyppo craze, which has caught up like wildfire particularly on social media.<\/p>\n

The Accra International Trade Fair Centre, which was the venue for the\u00a0launch, was awash with party paraphernalia\u00a0and cartons of Kalyppo which has seen a resurgence following the recent social media storm.<\/p>\n

\"kaly\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A photo of the flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo, sipping the drink with a straw went viral on social media after it was mocked by opponents.<\/p>\n

The response to the photo was huge as officials and supporters of the NPP, posted photos of themselves drinking Kalyppo\u00a0in a show of support for Nana Addo.<\/p>\n

\"kaly-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Others have taken the trend a bit further, taking pictures of themselves in some creative and humorous scenarios with the fruit juice, which have been dubbed the Kalyppo challenge and shared widely .<\/p>\n

\"funny-kaly\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the traders<\/a><\/strong><\/span> at the Trade Fair Centre told citifmonline.com\u00a0<\/strong>before the launch\u00a0that;\u00a0“I decided to sell Kalyppo here because I knew it will be highly patronised by party members. Every NPP member is now interested in Kalyppo because of Nana Addo.”<\/p>\n

\"funny-kaly1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"funny-kaly2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The NPP launched their\u00a0manifesto and campaign on Sunday in front of thousands of supporters who thronged the Trade Fair Centre.<\/p>\n

\"para-new\"<\/p>\n

There were speeches from several members of the party including the former president, flagbearer Nana Addo, running mate Mahamudu Bawumia and Alan Kyerematen among others.<\/p>\n
