In every election cycle, millions of Kenyans queue to cast their ballots, believing they are electing their next president. But do they?

This theory may ruffle feathers, but it explains why I'm often confident in predicting presidential outcomes, and why some contenders never quite stand a chance. The first truth is that becoming president, the world over, is not the same as winning any other seat.
