Hack Attack

The press pack in Kogelo
The press pack at Barack Obama's ancestral home is growing steadily. Today there must have been a good 30 or so hacks assembled for the 11am press conference to hear Abongo Malik Obama (half brother to Barack Obama) say there would be no more press conferences. Fair enough, I suppose. The family has no doubt had enough of the confusion, noise and disruption caused when more than two journalists are assembled in a single place. But I can't help thinking the last thing anyone wants is a bunch of bored journalists hanging around trying to amuse themselves.

What is happening? Is there an election scheduled to take place tomorrow somewhere? Is it a by-election or what? Who are the candidates?
