Kenya goes into elections tomorrow Tuesday, August 9, 2022. There will be winners and losers, wailing and gnashing of teeth once results begin to trickle in, separating the wheat from the chaff.

And losing elections can have negative impacts on a candidate's health when not aggravating other underlying medical conditions. Think high blood pressure, diabetes, depression and alcoholism.
