“The North, yes.”
“But we have only 1.1 million votes here.”
“Which is why the North will be a decider in these elections for whoever gets, say, 400,000 here will bag these elections.”
“How do you mean?”
“It’s about one (the North) to the Power of Two (the South and the Centre)”
“I failed my algebra.”

The opaque stuff was flowing and obviously people were losing their heads little by little. Some guy joined the group with a Helen Sigh t-shirt.

“Talking about good policies I think Mark Katsonga makes sense but he can’t win.”
“If Mark can’t win, who will?”
“Tate Peter!”
“Ama”
“Bebe!”
“Abusa!”
“Which abusa? Remember we have two in these elections!”
