Orange Democratic Movement{ODM} Party are a major hindrance to a serious voter
mobilization exercise, adding that those who are already cris-crossing the
county telling residents that have a line up in ODM Party are a major hindrance

of preferred candidates in ODM are the ones making our people to see no need to
register as voters hence creating the voter apathy,” they further say.
