Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option (1): The speech says democracy leads to rights, not fewer, so eliminate.
• Option (2): The speech states "we unite now... no colour distinction" and democracy is about unity, so tribal distinctions don't encourage democracy, eliminate.
• Option (3): The speech is about African democracy, not European colonization's voting, eliminate.
• Option (4): The speech says "the K.A.U. flag must first achieve the right to elect our own representatives... first principle of democracy" – so achieving the right to vote (elect reps) is the first step in democracy.

Answer:

(4) Achieving the right to vote is the first step in developing a democracy.
