Do not let the passing world make you forget the coming King. #RevivalMemoirs urge the Church to live ready, pursue holiness, and eagerly await Christ's glorious appearing.
The law is the law. It does not matter for how long the law has been violated. Article 138(1) & (2) of the Constitution, on the Procedure at presidential election, categorically provides:
(1) If only one candidate for President is nominated, that candidate shall be declared elected.
(2) If two or more candidates for President are nominated, an election shall be held in each constituency.
Voting at elections is conducted as provided under Article 86, which provides:
86. At every election, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries
Commission shall ensure that-
(a) whatever voting method is used, the system is simple, accurate, verifiable, secure, accountable and transparent;
(b) the votes cast are counted, tabulated and the results announced promptly by the presiding officer at each polling station;
(c) the results from the polling stations are openly and accurately collated and promptly announced by the returning officer; and (d) appropriate structures and mechanisms to eliminate electoral malpractice are put in place, including the safekeeping of election materials.
From the law above, there is no way the results for the Presidential elections cannot be announced at the Constituency as required by the Constitution. #ReKe #GetitDone #KnowYourConstitution
Disclaimer: This is not a medical diagnosis or professional assessment. It is a limited visual observation based solely on the provided photo. Photos can be misleading due to lighting, angle, skin tone, compression artifacts, footwear, and other factors.
Swelling, discoloration, or skin changes can have many causes - some benign, some serious - and can only be properly evaluated with clinical examination, history, and medical tests (blood work, ultrasound, etc.).
Visual Observations from the Image
โข Swelling (edema): The ankles and feet appear noticeably swollen, especially visible around the ankle area in the close-up. The skin looks puffy and stretched.
โข Skin changes: The lower legs and feet show significant darkening (hyperpigmentation), a shiny or tight appearance, and what could be interpreted as texture changes or mottling. The โrottingโ possibly brownish-red or purplish discoloration, suggests chronic fluid buildup, poor circulation, or skin breakdown.
โข Bilateral involvement: Both feet/ankles seem affected (visible on the left foot in the wider shot and the close-up).
โข Context: 59-year-old man, seated, wearing open sandals. No obvious open wounds/ulcers are clearly visible in this resolution, but chronic skin changes are apparent.
Possible Explanations (General Medical Knowledge โ Not Specific to This Individual)
Lower extremity swelling + skin discoloration in a middle-aged/older adult is common and can stem from several underlying issues.
Frequent possibilities include:
โข Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) or Venous Stasis: Poor vein function leads to blood pooling in the legs โ swelling, hyperpigmentation (brownish discoloration from hemosiderin deposits), skin thickening, and a โstasis dermatitisโ look. This is very common and can give a weathered or mottled appearance.
โข Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): The heart doesnโt pump efficiently, causing fluid backup into the legs. Often worse later in the day or with prolonged sitting/standing.
โข Kidney or Liver Disease: Impaired fluid balance or protein levels can cause edema.
โข Lymphedema: Lymphatic drainage issues leading to chronic swelling and skin changes.
โข Other contributors: Medications (e.g., some blood pressure drugs like calcium channel blockers), obesity, prolonged sitting, prior blood clots (DVT), diabetes-related complications, peripheral artery disease, or infections/cellulitis.
The combination of swelling + chronic skin discoloration (โrottingโ appearance) most classically points toward long-standing venous problems or heart/kidney-related edema, but again, this is speculative.
Recommendation
This appearance warrants prompt medical evaluation, especially at age 59.
A doctor might check:
โข Vital signs, heart/lung exam
โข Blood tests (kidney/liver function, BNP for heart strain, etc.)
โข Leg ultrasound (Doppler) for veins/clots
โข Possibly echocardiogram or other imaging
If the person has additional symptoms (shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, weight gain/loss, reduced urine output, etc.), seek care sooner.
Visual analysis from a single photo is inherently imprecise.
Encourage the individual (or their family) to see a healthcare professional for proper assessment and management. Early intervention for many of these conditions can significantly improve outcomes.
