The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has failed to hit its target of the mass voter registration exercise, two weeks after kicking off countrywide.
The agency received the second week preliminary data from the field on the drive, released by chairman Wafula Chebukati.
After 14 days of registering voters, preliminary data indicated a total of 1,539,879 Kenyans representing 53.94 per cent of the Week II cumulative target applied to be registered as voters.
"This represents 25% of the upper target of 6 million voters and 38.50% of the lower limit target of 4 million voters. This means that much work still needs to be done,'' he noted, Tuesday.
Chebukati however said the results were raw data that would be subjected to further cleaning and verification as required by law.
The Commission has since warned that the exercise will not be extended. It kicked off January 16 to February 14, 2017.
