        It's a sad reality for Africans and others in the developing world that we have to put up with such rubbish.

        + they're conspiring against the ICC & normalizing internet ban to pave way for massive rigging with full impunity.

        We saw this happen in national elections in Nigerian last year. Why depend on electronics given low capacity to run such systems?

        I don't trust the 'manual' verification. African leaders need to become accountable to the will of their people.

        @Joy997FM then the EC should hurriedly do the manual verification because undue delay will defeat fairness.
