NAIROBI, Kenya Apr 3 – A section of leaders in Nairobi County has raised concern over alleged irregularities in the ongoing voter registration exercise, claiming that some residents have been transferred to polling stations outside the city without their consent.The leaders, led by Nairobi South Ward MCA and Deputy Minority Leader in the County Assembly Waithera Chege, said the situation risks disenfranchising voters ahead of the next General Election.Speaking on Friday during an Easter outreach event in Nairobi South Ward, where she distributed gifts to residents, Chege claimed that several voters had discovered their registration details had been moved to areas outside Nairobi, particularly Garissa.“We want to tell the IEBC that those whose voter registration was transferred without their knowledge to Garissa need to be guided on how they can transfer it back to Nairobi, because they were not made aware of the changes,” she said.According to the MCA, the issue has been reported in multiple constituencies, with Embakasi Central and Embakasi West among the hardest hit.“The most affected constituencies are Embakasi Central and Embakasi West. People have been registered to vote in Garissa and those voters have not been informed. If you live, work and invest in Nairobi, it is only fair that you vote here,” Chege added.She further alleged that even new applicants seeking to register as voters within Nairobi were finding themselves assigned polling stations outside the county, raising questions about the integrity of the process.Chege has now called on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to urgently investigate and correct the anomalies, warning that failure to act could lock out affected voters from participating in the elections.“We want to ask the IEBC and the government to sort out these erroneous transfers because if they are not resolved in time, these people will not vote,” she said.She also urged Nairobi residents to remain vigilant during the registration process, encouraging them to verify their details to avoid being caught up in the alleged discrepancies.The concerns come as the electoral commission continues with voter registration and verification exercises across the country in preparation for the next polls, with accuracy of voter data seen as critical to ensuring a credible electoral process.
