My Verdict: Kenya has passed its most darkest hour as a nation; they have passed with flying colors! The people were given every reason to start "something" but they refused the temptation to resort to violence or boycotting of the results. The "peace" campaign that ran over several months has finally paid of. The people of Kenya are not building a nation/ a people. Yes they are divided along tribal lines but this time those lines though pronounced but were not as strong as people feared. The sentiment of 'nationhood' has prevailed, remarkably and forcefully! No party, no leader, no grudges, no fear became stronger than the feeling of what was at stake - the gains that the nation has made over these past years. The greatest challenge though is the reaction of Raila - will he prove to be a statesman that he is and concede defeat after all tallies are in? Is he going to challenge in court? Unless there is a runoff, if Uhuru wins, Raila should and must concede humbly and honorably...
