Ruta Mave: Why every vote still matters Monday 10 August 2026 | Written by Ruta Tangiiau Mave | Published in Editorials, Opinion ShareWe are all no doubt exhausted by the continued trolling of the electoral promises coming at us from all angles, writes Ruta Mave. Tick a box, any box you want, or go eenie meenie miney mo if you have to, just do it. Your vote may not change corruption overnight, it may not change water charges overnight or at all. But what if it was your vote that allowed that one person with the desire to change and the persistence and resilience to make change, win the race. Either one could beat him, but two, will split the vote and the devil we know will win again.
