The High Court in Eldoret has issued prohibitory order restraining the IEBC from concluding the enhanced voter registration exercise tomorrow till November 9 when the 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 instead granted him 7 more days pending the inter-party hearing.
The petitioner argues that most Kenyans haven't registered and the time given for the registration is limited due to IEBC underfunding.
