Is next year's presidential election a zero-sum game? Yes, going by the famous Game Theory by John von Neumann. The major players in the 2022 elections are the voters, political aspirants and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commissions (IEBC). Everyone else is an interested party.
In Game Theory, rules of the “game” are important even though the players may not satisfactorily practice them. To paraphrase the law of the land on election outcomes, there can only be one winner through universal suffrage.
