From the outcome of the February
25 elections, it is clear that our politics will never be the same again. Our
youths have answered the clarion call by taking up the challenge to take back
their country and, this is clear for all to see. Even with this, some people
are refusing to accept the reality of our situation. You know, those who do not
want to play by the rules always find reasons for their failure. The election
was substantially flawed and has drawn negative criticism from far and
near.
Ultimately, it is the court that
will decide. But whatever the outcome, the real change in our democracy has
come to stay. This is an election that our sitting President, after casting his
vote on election day, displayed his ballot to the whole world, an action that
is against the Constitution and the Electoral Act. By so doing, he has
demonstrated that our leaders have no respect for the rule of law, and a few
misguided leaders followed in his footstep.
