IEBC registers 2.6 million new voters, hails youth turnout

IEBC now says it was forced to end the enhanced continuous voter registration exercise due to budget constraints, despite growing calls from Kenyans to extend the process. IEBC chair Erustus Ethekon says the commission received only KSh 1 billion for the exercise and is now grappling with a significant funding shortfall as it prepares for the next general election. And as Stephen Leto reports, the commission has so far registered 2.6 million new voters, with the Rift Valley and Central Kenya regions recording the highest numbers.
