Contenders for the Governor’s seat in Homa Bay County have been told to stop transferring voters from other counties.\n<\/p>\n

Speaking at Rapedhi trading center during a voter registration mobilisation exercise, Homa Bay gubernatorial contestant Jared Kiasa said transferring voters from one county to another will lead to many invalid votes. <\/p>\n

\u201cAny situation that could deter the population in Nyanza from casting their votes will interfere with our endeavours of ensuring 100 per cent voter turnout,\u201d said Kiasa.<\/p>\n

Low turnout marked the first day of the second mass voter registration in most parts of the country.<\/strong> [File, Standard]<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n

Kiasa warned the youth against falling prey to false promises ahead of elections,\u00a0incitement and political violence.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cPoliticians don\u2019t use their own children to\u00a0cause\u00a0violence. Be cautious, and reject leaders out to incite political violence,\u201d said Kiasa.\n<\/p>\n

He also called on fellow contestants to spearhead the voter listing campaigns by mobilising unregistered residents to enlist. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe respect for youthful aspirants will depend on how they\u00a0conduct themselves. Embrace sobriety,\u201d he added.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
