Presidencial Elections

IMG_3617

This is what our presidential election ballot looks like with 16 candidates! To win, a candidate has to receive at least 50% of the popular vote. On the contrary, the top two go for a second vote in April. As of today, one candidate has 32% of the popular vote, and another two are tied at 20%. The three candidates represent three distinct ideologies: Left wing, right wing, and indigenous.
Who elects the president? The people or God?
I constantly remember studying Jeremiah in the FLET bible program. During king Josiah's reign, Jeremiah prophesied that a nation would invade from the North. At that time, Egypt, in the South, was the "world power." No one dreamed of a powerful nation coming from the North. Suddenly Babylon, from the North, appears out of nowhere and defeats Egypt. Then later conquers Jerusalem.
Who controls politics? Just read the story in Jeremiah 32.

(This is where Faby and I cast our votes, at a public school.)
