It is hard not to write about it. After all this election scores so many firsts. For the sake of record, Nakamora put it down anyway.
Call it winds of change, a nightmare, a wake-up call, a glorious joy, or the beginning of a new landscape. The people has spoken, but the voice is different this time.
Five states fell out of the hand of the incumbent; the incumbent fails for the first time to secure the traditional 2/3 majority; scores of ministers and presidents of component parties lost the election; massive swing of votes to the opposition by all three main ethnic groups; the number of state capital cities under the once 'opposition' parties increased.
It was an unexpected and unprecedented avalanche. The political landscape definitely has changed. So as the habit of voters to seek alternative source of information, particularly in cyberspace such as blogs, as the mainstream traditional media was saturated with one side of the story and thus unable to accommodate other point of views.
