No one loses polls in Africa; their victory is stolen!

Today, the political heavens are signing up for 'Vawulence'! Our politicians must attend classes on how to lose elections! Let me begin with a syllogism: In Africa, no one loses elections; the winner steals. Kenya is in Africa, and therefore, in Kenya, nobody loses elections; they are stolen. It has been adduced that we strengthen our legal superstructures by disputing elections. My political knighthood fears that this scapegoating helps fatten our democracy for slaughter.

Although I'm not talking about Raila Odinga, the question would be, did William Ruto steal the August 9, 2022, presidential poll? Isn't that why there is an ongoing petition at the Supreme Court? Isn't the script unchanged? Allow me to use a social fact we are all familiar with.
