Mentalacrobatics writes about the election in his country, excerpt:

I take refuge in the knowledge that as I type this at 5.15am thousands of Kenyans are already walking towards polling stations, hundreds of thousands will queue up for hours to vote, supermarkets and shopping malls are closed so that workers can vote. Many, like me, had taken steps to ensure they are not disenfranchised on a technicality. My voters card, together with my National Identity card have been well hidden in my equivalent of a bank vault (inside a lockable pouch, in a shoe box, behind a speaker – hehe). We understand the importance of today. Like many I will not be voting “three piece” that is to say my choices for president, member of parliament and councillor will not come from the same party. Let those we elect learn to work together when they get to parliament.
