Remarkable and hilarious moments in just concluded repeat election

Despite the uncertainties and confusion during the October 26 repeat presidential election, voting went on smoothly in many parts of the country save for a few places where there were violence. Low voter turnout was reported especially in the Opposition strongholds.

Kenyans went on to post some of the hilarious moments on social media. Funny pictures emerged with dogs and chickens going to polling stations to vote. These are some of the rib-cracking pictures that some people posted tearing each other apart. Mwende Kithuku, Nairobi

The Constitution stipulates that for a presidential candidate to emerge winner, he or she should get 25 out of 47 counties and 50%+1. I observe we are this divided because of the ethnic blocks due to geographical locations. Could there be a way of, for instance, spreading the counties that must be within the 25 to enable the country be more cohesive? This will help reduce the balkanization of voting zones and also give us national leaders? The current voting thresholds easily push our country into tribal voting blocks .This, l admit, is a less publicly spoken about matter.

The youth in the long run will slay this tribal agenda as one said they easily share kangumu among themselves irrespective of tribe or race. Some of us have inter -married hence embracing other communities. Mmasi Memeti, Nairobi

On August 8, the electoral commission figures indicated that there were about 15 million Kenyans who cast their votes. Jubilee garnered 8.2 million. But due the long weary electioneering period, some or many voters may not have showed up in the presidential rerun poll. The poll result may be reduced drastically, changing last election vote pattern. Instead of the 8.2 million, the Jubilee presidential candidate may this time garner less.

I believe NASA would have also received less votes than what it got in the last elections. Such a change may create a lot of hullabaloo among Kenyans and particularly the opposing political players who may create a mountain out of a molehill. Mohamed Sheikh, Nairobi
