That the country has been thrown into campaign mode is not in doubt. Intense political rhetoric has become the order of the day. Indeed, someone visiting the country for the first time will be forgiven to think that general elections are few days away.

It is crystal clear that the 2027 election campaigns have begun in earnest.
