de social media…like the international observers could only see part of the election process..the major part of the election process they are not allowed to see..this is why social media and all media houses must call for transparency for the entire election process…cameras must be installed at all polling stations..electronic voting at all polling stations..counting and tabulating and all that crap they have to do must be done in transparency..u bet your life on it..if gecom decides to open those ballot boxes for —-recount of all votes—the social media the international observers the a b c eu ambassadors will know what took place at gecom..they all will see the real will of the people but it appears they cant go back on their words since their credibility will be put to the test around the world.
so i will say this is a done deal and a forgone conclusion until next 4 years..
