Politicians Election-nearing Pull Out Stunts, Humility or PR ?
The depths politicians go to gather votes.
Politicians have always been creative when it comes to that moment they need the peoples votes. Sincere humility or just PR stunts ?
We have seen them after every five years come back to the ground to seduce voters of their votes once again. This happens after they were elected before, some delivered, some were below the expected. But all come back to the same voters to solicite them for their votes once again.
In attempts to appear humble, down to earth, simple, and in touch with the poor rural masses, politicians have often posed these situations and shared the photos widely.
This then leaves everyone confused whether it is seriousness and sincerity or rather just PR stunts.

The depths and breadth of what politicians will do to get the vote will certainly always get weirder. But do mnany of them mean what they do ?
