I was quite fascinated to see three major parties having a real chance to win the election. I do not remember such a thing in Eastern or Southern Africa where I have a closer feel of things. Mostly it is a 2 horse race or ruling party only with a reasonable chance.
It is also interesting to see the perception around technology. Introduced as a transparency mechanism, it turns out to be depicted as an opaque electoral artifact.
The technology wasn’t used properly which was the problem the electoral act mandates electronic transmission of results but that didn’t happen on election day there’s only so much tech can do in ensuring transparency. Concerning Southern Africa there’s the new coalition in Lesotho haven’t seen anything to see if they’ve made good on their promises.
