This blog is about creating documentation on accountable democracy, effective democracy, showcasing grassroot as well as top tier institutions striving to make lasting impressions and character that uplifts human dignity, well being and prosperity.
This blog is dedicated to all efforts on the African continent bringing about better living conditions and livelihood for all communities. It is also a tool for documenting election experience in Africa, leadership transition, building durable sustainable democratic institutions, showcasing efforts to involve people on the African continent in engaging in self-driven development and economic emancipation.
Democracy is a default that can be used as builder's bowline to erect upright walls. But, the Judas of it all lies in not explaining why lines need shifting and that there is need for many of these tools to be used by many more builders. This way more upright walls are erected and we have many more builders. Democracy is about numbers, scheduling, passage of rites, agency and urgency.
The easily perceptible and tangible bedrock of democracy is suffrage, universal suffrage. This is the right to vote in political elections. Voting is about choice. Choice is about free-will. Free-will is about self-sustenance. Other words one can relate with suffrage are: franchise, right to vote, ballots and enfranchisement.

A government must provide an atmosphere where people are motivated and incentives are in place for self-sustenance and productivity. In turn, the people of right age to vote are allowed to exercise free-will to choose a leader of their liking.
The leaders are given opportunity to present ideas, plans and roadmaps of how they intend to conduct themselves once chosen as leaders as well as deliver on what their manifestos promise.

In a multi-party democracy, parties are provided opportunity to establish structures through which they extend services, are bastions of redress, act as oversight, get feedback as well as complement development agendas or policies of government. Three important aspects should stand out highly in a democracy: governance; due diligence; and exercise of fairness.
This blog is about gauging the straightness of democratic lines; how deliberations go on; whether commission or omission are the default.
Enjoy!
