Drowning in GE15 social media messages

[superadmin]

My WhatsApp is flooded with messages from friends and those in chat groups regarding the 15th general election (GE15). Most share reports from news portals and newspapers, or postings from Facebook.

This time around, I’m getting Tik-Tok clips of politicians giving speeches or at press conferences or just getting a message across.

Politicians and political parties have taken to social media, including YouTube, like never before. Speeches of leaders are uploaded minutes after the events; sometimes they are carried live. Videos of visits by party leaders or potential candidates are uploaded, just as other messages are, for the consumption of the voter. And supporters are sharing these video clips and messages with those in their contact list.
