The 2022 general election has no doubt catapulted a number of unknown individuals into the limelight owing to their unwavering resolve to seek elective seats.
But none, seemingly, rivals the fame Roots Party leader George Wajackoyah earned himself after he announced his presidential bid.
Wajackoyah captured the attention of the masses particularly due to controversial proposals in his party manifesto which included slashing of working days to four days and legalisation of bhang.
In tow with the controversies came the lawyer's unique dress code and Rastafarian swag which made him a darling of the media and the public.
