Roch Marc Kabore Proclaimed Election Winner & New President Of West African Nation, ‘Burkina Faso’
Roch Marc Kabore who was a presidential candidate has been declared the election winner and new Burkina Faso president after a clear majority victory in a peaceful election in which millions participated, making him the first newly elected head of state in almost 30 years.
Roch Marc Kabore, was a former prime minister of Burkina Faso under the ousted President Blaise Compaore.
This new development comes after a coup earlier on in 2015 and the devout, catholic, Kabore becomes the winner of the Burkina Faso’s first presidential election since the 2015 coup.
Kabore, a wealthy banker by profession, highly experienced politician, who believes that Social democracy is integral to national development.
Victory arose from promises included improving the youth employment, education and health Service Delivery systems, including providing free healthcare, for all children under the age of six years.
His promises resonate very well with the people after promising prosperity for all and an end to power monopolisers whose ill gotten wealth arises from the suffering of the Burkinabes.
Burkina Faso, is a former French colony which has been ruled since the sixties by coup leaderships. The country therefore celebrates a historic change as Kabore, is the country’s first new elected leader in almost three decades as Roch Marc Kabore’s predecessor, President Blaise Compaore .
Just like many despot African heads of state, Compaore seized power and unsurprisingly so, won four elections, which were heavily disputed by the people of Burkina Faso, but he held onto power for27 years.
The now seemingly ‘lifetime’ leader, a typical ‘African’ head of state disease, was eventually unseated from power through popular uprisings after the, now, all too familiar ‘African’ process of attempting to alter the national constitution in order to allow him to extend his rule in Burkina Faso.
In October 2014 Compaore , was successfully ejected from power, after 27 years in control . The transitional government set up to run the affairs of the Burkina Faso government, had no support from ousted Compaore’s presidential guard.
The Compaore’s Presidential Guard staged a one week long coup in September, which became the sixth coup ever since independence from the French in the sixties.
However the ‘failed coup caused the West African Nation’s elections originally planned for October,to be delayed. by Sibusiso Ngwenya.
