outcome of their incompetency there is no holding back.Stories have
started emerging all over social media across the nation of people
pouring out their travel tales, preparation stories. Some traveling for
several hours to be close to their polling station, others traveling in
from abroad.
A trending image of an elderly woman who made four
times more kunu for her polling unit has gone round.What about her. What
about the people in the North who fled their homes for preparations.
What about the corpers who slept in harsh conditions slumped on top of
each other to be prepared to serve their country. What about those who
shifted weddings, funerals shut down their businesses.

and do what it takes to go to the polling stations no matter the day. It
seems that people are ready for Better this time more than ever
