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 [...]

Thanks for all the supportive comments.
Been waiting for some decent MP results for most of the night, because I think they will be far more interesting than the Presidential results and of course because of Mzalendo. Here’s what I have so far again via NTV. Lots of surprises - Kisii, [...]

I voted this morning at Madaraka Primary School.
It was my first time voting in a national election, having been out of the country in 1997 and 2002. It was a very empowering process - especially in this election that is going to be a tight one.
Despite turning up at 6:15 [...]
