One would have thought that those that ran a parade all last week about a 
guaranteed victory for the UDP will atleast in the interest of closing tell 
us what was flawed in their assumptions.  They claimed they knew the area 
and how the people think better than any here.  Some say they were abreast 
of everything that was going on in KE.  More bizzare though, I see folks 
jubilating for coming second when this was a winner take all gig.  What is 
there to celeberate for the opposition, when we won the majority vote but 
lost the seat?  Now, they dropped the guaranteed win, to how strong the UDP 
is over NADD?  Forget about the APRC, as long as NADD is in 3rd place.  At 
this rate, I guess we can brace for another five years for Yaya, just like 
in 2001.  Chei!
