It is nice to put on record some of the events of the past two weeks in summary. The country is having the 12th election since gaining independent 50 years ago. The 13 days allocated for campaigns ended just about 3 hours ago. It must have been adequate for the voting public to make decision and exercise their rights. In less than six hours polling booths are scheduled to open.
Flags, message banners and posters spring up almost everywhere. Driving on such heavily 'decorated' roads is an experience. The EC canceled the plan to use indelible inks just three days before the election. It caused several reactions. The spraying of the EC Chairman's home compound with red paint by dissatisfied people is said to be related to that decision.
I am going to vote anyway...
