As we take time off to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, it is increasingly becoming difficult to ward off political thoughts. Most of my colleagues in Parliament haven’t really gone for those long holidays associated with Easter. Many are spending this holiday trying to figure out how they will counter growing opposition in their backyards.
I have deeply thought about the critical mass of new voters that could well tilt the game next year. The recently-concluded voter registration was affected by voter apathy, where many counties were unable to hit the 50 per cent target.
