Branding household items

In recent years, politicians have branded items such as buckets, detergents, saucepans, laptops and bags of rice with party colours and flyers.

The branding tactic that shocked many occurred in Kenya last year when a staunch supporter of President Uhuru Kenyatta campaigned for him with a donkey painted in the president’s party colours and symbols.

Wherever he went with his unique decorated donkey, people looked at him in awe.
