CROATIA ELECTS FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT

Croatia has elected first woman president, Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic, who won opposition and incumbent, Mr Ivo Josipovic by the narrowest of margins.
Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic toasts next to her husband Jakov as she celebrates her win - 11 January 2015She secured a 50.5% of the vote with 99% of ballots counted, while incumbent Ivo Josipovic was close behind on 49.5%. Mr Ivo already has conceded defeat and congratulated winner, Kolinda.
The election was also described as a key test for the main parties ahead of parliamentary elections expected to be held towards the end of 2015.

Hope other elections in 2015 be as free and fair as seen in Croatia, especially in Nigeria as the hustle for the presidential seat seem too much of a hot tea to be allowed to spill. Prayer remains that it does not turn out worse as resulted in 2007 and as still seen uprising up to date.
