Let\u2019s ensure no one is left out,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n If indeed the ID owners do not collect them and end up not voting, it will be an equivalent of a single constituency not participating in the elections.\n<\/p>\n Borabu Constituency in Nyamira has about 60,000 registered voters, according to the 2017 IEBC register.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Source: The Standard Media Kenya<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang\u2019i with senior government administrators in Nyamira, January\u00a0 2022.
