Recipe for electoral conflict
I am a diasporian myself but I think the decision of the EC Boss to exclude or disenfranchise us in respect of this year’s voting is a wise decision. This move will at least plug one of the avenues for any political party to gain any advantage, which would also pave the way for others to complain of electoral malpractices. Such accusation is likely to generate confusion of unpredictable magnitude. Having said that I think by 2012 the necessary administrative mechanisms might have been put in place for us to also have a say in the governance of our beloved country.
