Surely 12m versus 1m - Magufuli is popular. He is doing some stuff right. He has been busy from day 1 delivering. He has rarely visited abroad. Give the devil his dues. I don't like how he mess up with foreign investment, the climate of fear and all that. But admittedly he is doing some stuff right - he is there - everyday - providing leadership and solutions.He has won - if he rigged - it was waste of time and money - he was winning.
People don't want magic - they want someone like magufuli genuinely committed - waking up everyday - to work hard - Ruto in first round may clock 70 and 2nd round 90..
- unless Raila become a spoiler
which I suspect is going to be his Plan B.
Let not become so cynical such that when Trump wins - we start shouting US has rigged - Russia bla de bla - in greatest democratic state of US. Sijui algorithms. Computers. In Manual Elections.
Democracy is temocrazy as Moi said. Anything can happen. RESPECT PEOPLE WISHES. In Russia a sweeper was elected mayor - and mayor had nudged the sweeper to contest against her for credibility
Let us become real true democrats. Able to accept people wishes. Accept, respect and move on.
Madrinks Mapadlocks is a megastar rigger!!! Who can beat that???
He has outdone the 54% algorithm by yards... he didn’t hesitate to do his thing even in the opposition strongholds.
Like Kibaki said, even rigging should be done with some intelligence... lacking the sophistication that Kenya has perfected, he just proceeded on a blatant open rigging ya kimadharau!!! Even the main opposition candidates are losing seats in their strongholds.
What a tragedy...
