The country’s political arena has seen many twist and turns in the recent past few years with some alliances taking shape and going out of shape before bearing any fruit, while some unstable politicians keep running from faction to faction and party to party like a Gen-Z at Royal Park in Matero, misnformation in this sphere has taken toll with AI-generated photos to stage managed abductions of Presidential aspirants of criminal organizations.
