what you're trying to talk about is the possibility of having a perfect democratic system in the African scenario. This is not possible and it's not just an African narrative but relates with every part of the world. America, Europe, China and all the part of the world don't have a perfect democratic system where the will of the people is totally accepted at the end of the electionary process. Because democracy involves election of a preferred candidate, it's not going to be perfect. campaigning will always alt the efficiency of the democratic system and whoever is able to use whatever medium he finds at his disposal to will the mantle of leadership to his favour will end up winning at the pole and in most cases, it doesn't conform to the will of the majority but since by virture of the electionary system, whomever wins at the pole is deems the democratically elected candidate, some level of unfairness will Always surface.
