The election which took place in Kenya yesterday saw Kenyans trooping to the polls in huge numbers and some staying overnight just to cast their votes.
Just look at that crowd.
Professor Scott Bellow, an American, @BD_Africa Columnist and Chair Faculty Council @USIUAfric commends their patriotism:
Would Americans or Europeans stand in 2 kilometer long lines just to cast a vote? Amazing incredible Kenya.#ElectionsKE2017 #ElectionsKE pic.twitter.com/ItF3e8HNql

They would have planned better to avoid queuing for 2 Kilometers – made it more efficient

Including queuing from 9pm the previous night to vote 6am following morning. So who's committed more to democracy?

And they say we don't have true democracy in Africa? 🤔
