As the 2026 Football World Cup (FWC) proceeds through the current last-16 knockout stages, it is worth reflecting on my different prediction made at the time of last year’s Tanzania election, that, if theirs was the quarter-final of regional electoral violence, Uganda’s in 2026 would be the semi-final and Kenya’s in 2027 the final.  It turns out that Uganda’s was far less violent.  With “goonism” clearly established as today’s “go-to” political tool, will Kenya still be the final violence?  Will goons be used to intimidate and harass the people to suppress the vote with violence?
