Raila Odinga Proposes Voter Registration Should Happen Day and Night: "Pesa Iko"

Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga has urged youths to ensure they register as voters for the upcoming August 9 General Election. 

Raila who presided over the official launch of voter registration in Nairobi's City Hall on Tuesday, January 18, proposed the exercise to be carried out both day and night. 

"Kila siku mnaamka alfajiri mnakuenda pale kuandikisha kura, na ata kama hawa wanataka kufanya hadi usiku ni sawa, pesa iko tutatoa,'(You wake up every morning to go register as voters, even if they want to work throughout the night it is okay, there is money, we shall allocate," he stated. 

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) announced dates for the final voter registration phase which will run from January 17 to February 6, 2022.

This was after the electoral body failed to meet its target in the previous exercise.

Statistics showed that Raila's backyard recorded higher voter transfer rates compared to Deputy President Ruto's.
