        @calestous In the 10 months 4 African incumbents lost. See first part of this article: http://m.mgafrica.com/article/2014-12-12-change-in-mauritius-jugnauth-gives-africas-opposition-parties-their-fourth-win-of-2014-the-most-ever#.VRv18LpoERk …

        @cobbo3 I am getting the sense that some people think of democracy in Africa as the defeat of an incumbent.

        @calestous Symbolically, that will continue to be a powerful part of it...just like election rigging by incumbents symbolised its failure

        @calestous Yes, good idea. Somalia's Aden Abdullah Osman was first incumbent defeated - and to concede - in 1967!!
