On Monday, the IEBC’s second mass voter registration for the August election got off to a poor start, with most polling sites reporting minimal turnout.
The election commission is attempting to register 4.5 million new voters, the majority of them are minors who have turned 18 since the last voter registration.
Amani National Congress Party Member Of Parliament has threatened his electorates who will fail to register as voters. According to him whoever wants to meet him must show a proof of voters card reiterating that he won’t allow anyone to meet him if they don’t have.
Registering as a voter is Democratic right enshrined in the constitution and everyone are urged to register themselves. With your vote you can change the bad political leaders we have in this country.
The stakes are high since the numbers will have a significant impact on President Uhuru Kenyatta’s succession struggle, which has seen ODM leader Raila Odinga and Deputy President William Ruto emerge as frontrunners.
What do you think is the reason why most Kenyans are slow to register as voters?
