Leaders Urge Kenyans to Register as Voters Amidst Low Turnout - October 2025

President William Ruto has urged Kenyan youth to register as voters in the ongoing nationwide exercise, emphasizing their crucial role while speaking in Meru County. Similarly, former Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiangi expressed concern over the low voter registration turnout, urging young people to participate. Former Chief Justice David Maraga also called upon Christians to actively participate in elections, calling it a spiritual and civic responsibility. These calls come as efforts to encourage Kenyans to register are intensifying at the grassroots level due to low turnout and minimal participation in the exercise so far.
