Eldoret High Court Extends Voter Registration Exercise to 9th November
The High Court in ELDORET has issued prohibitory order restraining the IEBC from concluding the enhanced voter registration exercise tomorrow till 9th when inter party hearing will take place.
Through activist Patrick Cherono a resident of Uasin Gishu county, the petitioner had asked the court to extend the enhanced voter registration exercise for 90 more days but the court and declined instead granted him 7 more days pending the inter party hearing on 9th.
The petitioner argues most Kenyans haven’t registered and time given for the registration is limited due to IEBC underfunding.
Through Justice Eric Ogolla, the court has directed the petitioner through his lawyer Kaira Nabasenge to serve IEBC and the National Assembly who are the respondents in the case with the prohibitory order before the date for inter party hearing.
This means the enhance registration will have to continue for the next 7 days pending final determination of the petition
