Kenyans stocked up on their favourite snacks juices, soda and alcohol ahead of Tuesday’s election, to keep busy and energised throughout the results announcement period. Others bought healthy snacks to eat as they waited in long queues to vote.
As Kenyans went to the polls, supermarkets and grocery stores reported panic-buying of essential food items from a majority of customers, but there is a group that was keen on buying crisps, popcorns or popcorn maize, peanuts, wine, cheese, chocolate and whiskeys, as they turn their thoughts to quelling election anxieties with comfort food.
