This pithy saying describes the totality of opposition reaction to last weekโ€™s largely successful NRM primary elections. Citing the few and isolated incidents, the talking heads on social and traditional media are scoffing and denigrating what they call the โ€œdemocratic deficienciesโ€ in the NRM. The opposition, it is very clear, is rattled by the massive turn-up of the voters during the NRM primaries.
