Kenyan Elections: “Kenyans have realized the power of the vote…”
Muti ThisKenyan Pundit covers the Kenyan elections:
Folks this is a historic election by Kenyan standards, regional standards and international standards - I don’t think there is a precedent for the number of incumbents that are going down despite having massive resources behind them and attempts to bribe voters. And I challenge you to find an election in the Western world in recent times where people have come out with such determination, conviction, and a strong sense of civic duty…Kenyans have realized the power of the vote and will no longer be taken for a ride. I think this election will be a watermark as far the maturity of voters and the impact it will have on the next Parliament…”

Is this a true analysis of the Kenyan elections? If yes, well done and hope many other African countries will borrow a leaf from yer book.
In Nigeria, people that realised the power of THEIR votes were cheated and votes given to theiving incumbents. 8 months on, the petitions in some states yet to be determined e.g. Ondo State.

NAIROBI — President Mwai Kibaki took the oath of office Sunday minutes after being declared the winner of a vote marred by allegations of rigging, as black smoke billowed from the impoverished slum home to thousands of rioting opposition supporters.
Elections chief Samuel Kivuitu, who read the results on live television after other media were expelled from the main vote headquarters, said Mr. Kibaki beat Raila Odinga by 231,728 votes in the closest race in Kenya’s history…
