Today is the long awaited day, a day not only for Americans but for the world. Today they vote, for the best of their choice. The world did its part in stating who they favour, now it’s upon Americans to do justice.
Here in our homeland Kenya, we are all for the Democrat, one would say ODM but now with the O standing for Obama and for America. Somewhere in Kogelo, there is a feast going on right now, prayers are clogging heavens for one thing, Obama for White house. I have not come across anyone who talks about the Republican, and if there exists then may be they are afraid of facing the wrath of Obama supporters. Everyone talks about what he will do when he wins but what they don’t understand is that he is not our president…he is not obliged to help us just because he has roots from here. What if he does not win? That’s the big question people evade.
Some months back we had our own elections and our favourite choices for presidency. Some for Raila while some for Kibaki. The world seemed to go for the ODM and even statistics showed Raila was leading.
It was so obvious that he was going to win the election. Come the Election Day, he was still at the lead according to media until something happened, what happened nobody knows and the next thing we heared was Kibaki was re-elected and sworn in ASP.
Look at what happened in Zimbabwe, Changirae had all the support just like Obama and Raila but at the end we saw Mugabe being sworn in.
What if this repeats itself in America? I know the systems are different but…what if?
What if form 16A decides to vanish? (If it exists that is).
What if Obama looses? Will post election violence repeat itself in Kenya? Or will Kenyans and the rest of the world hold a peacefull demonstration organized by Prof. Anyan’g Nyon’go?
Will Koffi Anan conduct another negotiation to make Obama the Prime Minister as is the trend now in Africa?
Well if we had the same systems of governing then the answer would be obvious.
We wait and see.
