President Uhuru Kenyatta is set to visit Garissa today, Tuesday, as he continues his tour to sensitize Kenyans to register as voters.
After touring Maralal, Samburu County on Monday, where he urged local residents to ensure they are registered, the president heads to the Northern part of the country, which is considered a Cord zone.
The president is particularly interested in the youth, who form majority of the eligible voters, and happen to be the most vibrant campaigners.
According to the president, if the youth don’t register to vote they will not be able to help the candidates they are supporting.
The leaders have been on a voter registration sensitization drive, with most of them retreating to their backyard to ensure locals in their areas are registered.
The IEBC intends to register over 6 million voters in the current campaign which started last week on Monday and is set to run for one month.
However, there has been a low turnout in the registration centres, which is worrying for the IEBC.
The president is expected to be accompanied among other leaders Majority in the National Assembly Aden Duale.
