Finding element with explicit wait using selenium webdriver in python

If you use By.LINK_TEXT, there should be a link with exactly that text: Followers, but you have Followers 43,799.

In your case, you should use By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT instead:

wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, 'Followers')))

UPDATE Here's working example:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

driver = webdriver.Chrome()  # CHANGEME
driver.get('http://www.quora.com/Kevin-Rose')
element = WebDriverWait(driver, 2).until(
    EC.presence_of_element_located((By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, "Followers"))
)
element.click()
