Kenya referendum for a new constitution. Yes (banana) vs. no (orange). The Banana side want more Presidential power, the orange side more parliamentary. That's the main different.

it's been very heated; 8 people have already dies during the campaign due to riots etc. Yes seems to have slightly more support, but Kenya is extremely hard to poll.

I'll try and find an article.

Takes longer to eat an orange, while a banana has more nutritional value though. Smiley
