"content": "around the election of the President of the United States of America (USA) at that time brought about a civil war that lasted for four years and over 600,000 people died. We are happy that in Kenya, it has not gone that way. People decided to speak before it deteriorated. Matters elections are very critical for the stability of the nation and we need to handle them with care. The critical thing I quote here is what President Lincoln said. He said that we must agree that the popular vote is not an absurdity. We must also settle the question that a minority that loses an election cannot at will decide to break a government that is formed by the Majority. Let us discuss but let the principle prevail. If you lose an election, please go home. You have no right to break a Government because you lost an election. What Sen. Dullo has said is what happened many years ago and people are trying to reinvent it. Do not bring chaos because you lost an election. This whole dialogue is about that election. It has happened in the USA and it is being repeated word for word except we have not gone to civil war. We are asking people to have good manners. When you lose an election, do not bring problems to the country, go home."
