Hassan Omar under fire over voters’ register remarks

Tonight, UDA Secretary General Hassan Omar is at the centre of a storm over the integrity of Kenya’s voters’ register ahead of the 2027 General Election. Omar has come under fire over remarks he made in Mombasa on Friday, suggesting that even the dead would be registered to vote. The remarks have triggered condemnation from leaders within the Kenya Kwanza administration, while the opposition is demanding answers and questioning whether the statement points to a wider plan to manipulate the voters’ register. As the political storm deepens, questions are now being raised over just how secure the 2027 voters’ register will be.
