I come from a country where the citizens took to the streets for months protesting an unfair election and the army protected them when they marched. The army so protected the people to the point the president fired the army chief.

I come from a country where the two biggest opposition parties consolidated an elections court case and the constitutional court ruled against the ruling party, despite being offered millions of dollars as a bribe.

I come from a country where the Supreme Court of Appeal upheld the lower court's ruling and gave a go-ahead for the fresh election which would require the winner win with a majority of 50% +1.

I come from a country where the president tried to punish the Chief Justice for ruling against him by forcing him into early retirement. Only for lawyers across the country to take to the streets to let the president know THE JUDICIARY IS INDEPENDENT AND WILL NOT BE A PUPPET.

I come from a country where opposition parties united to put up two candidates as presidential candidate and running mate. And won with a land slide victory. Ending a very corrupt political dynasty that went on for 26 years.
