Election 2009: is there something I am missing?

When all is said and done one would urge the vanquished to let the victors gloat for it is their moment of joy no matter how reduced the margin might be. Victory is victory. We should let them gloat as long as they do not start throwing stones at us from their glass houses.

Many things continue to be said about why the BDP lost some constituencies. Some blame soldiers who have the same rights as everybody else to vote for the BCP without proof. I thought voting was done in secret. Why should we start probing how a certain group of people voted? If they voted for the BCP or any other party does that matter? The most bizarre and nauseating thing however is the tribal element peddled by the BDP against the people of Chobe, Okavango, Ngami and Kgalagadi for having voted the opposition into Parliament. Unless I am missing something I do not seem to understand what the farce is all about. It is public knowledge that all the contenders came from the same tribes.
