Still waiting...

Polls closed at 5:00 PM on Saturday 17th November. It's now Wednesday the 21st at noon... and we still don't know the results of the elections.

IRN, partnered with BBC Media Action, Cotton Tree News, et al have been reading "provisional results" since Saturday night. Some political parties have jumped the gun... and reported "wins and losses" but NOTHING has been officially tallied nor announced.

Three and a half days of counting... in a country with fewer than 2.5 million voters... Hmmm, something's amiss. I know some ballot boxes have been "quarantined" for closer scrutiny... but still... I have to wonder at the delays.

However, things remain relatively peaceful... but people are anxious and eager to hear the final results.

Waiting and waiting... Soon my phone will ring.
