Over 100 people vote for a dead man

The United Kingdom went to the polls and saw a great election process come to an end with Prime Minister David Cameron’s Conservative party maintaining their control of the 10 Downing Street and the House of Commons albeit with a narrow outright majority.

The elections brought with it a lot of intriguing surprises; a 20-year-old student, Mhairi Black was elected MP for Paisley & South Renfrewshire! Stunning, isn’t it? Come back to the Kenyan situation, where the youngest MP is Silvanus Osele of Kabondo Kasipul constituency – he was only 4 years older than Mhairi Black when he was elected. This shows we are not far apart with the UK in terms of what we look for in leadership. It also shows the immense trust the Kenyan public has in their youths and the belief the youths have in themselves with regards to leadership of this country just as Mhairi Black showed us.
