@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 -
@cobbo3@calestous Incumbent then Buyoya from Burundi was defeated in 1993 by Ndadalye Melchior. And left office Came back later in a coup! -
@rmunya Thanks. That one had totally fallen off my radar@calestous
