A day before the election, I went to the supermarket for the usual daily supplies. There was frenzied panic buying as thousands thronged the facility in preparation for what seemed like bomb raids.

For an entire week, we were holed up in 'the bunker' following news of the election. A week earlier, a disaster management expert had taken a group of us through a 10-minute crash course on how to prepare for 'Kenya's election'. We needed enough stocks of petrol, just in case flight was necessary, he urged. We were advised on the wisdom of stocking up on non-perishable foods, and how to stay alive in this anxious times.
