Nicholas Maduro is in trouble in Venezuela. Protests over July's disputed election results have forced him to arrest over 1,700 people while most Latin American and international countries (apart from Russia, China and Iran) have declined to recognise him as President.
Maduro dismisses this as a 'fascist plot' but has declined to release the detailed election polling results claiming that an attempted hack from Macedonia interfered with the servers. (How then does Maduro know that he won the election?)
The election polling results in Venezuela are essentially the same as Form 34As in Kenya. Representatives of political parties at individual polling stations sign off the results.
Fraud in the Kenya elections is virtually impossible so long as the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission posts Form 34As online in real-time. (It is noteworthy that no online Form 34A was challenged in 2022.)
So, not only should Maduro release Venezuela's polling results, but Kenya's Gen Z demonstrators should concentrate on making certain that the Form 34A system is retained in Kenya. Then President Ruto will go if a majority of voters don't want him and will stay if a majority do want him.
Quote of the day: "I have established the republic. But today it is not clear whether the form of government is a republic, a dictatorship, or personal rule."
