as to register as voters ahead of the polls.
He says the exercise
will be carried out within the IEBC offices of the Kisumu East constituency near
Mamboleo show grounds.
Mwamu says a number of
student of about 2000 have obtained Identity cards since November last year
where he begun supporting the initiative hence needs to be registered as voters
and participate in the forthcoming polls slated for August 9 this year.
