Lines Over a Mile Long to Vote in Kenya’s Presidential Election
With most of the world’s attention pointed to the fragile democracy and national crisis in Pakistan, the polls have opened Kenya’s presidential election. In most democracies, waiting in line to vote is a hassle. In Kenya, it is a privilege.
According to the NY Times: “Millions of Kenyans waited in the muggy darkness for the polls to open and for a chance to scratch their X’s in a presidential election that is predicted to be the tightest race in the country’s history — and perhaps the greatest test yet of Kenya’s young, multiparty democracy.”
Election observers from the United States and European Union on Thursday praised the largely peaceful general elections in Kenya, where widespread communal strife had been feared on polling day.
