NAIROBI: Opposition leaders have raised concerns about inadequate preparations for voter registration and alleged attempts to weaken independent institutions.

During a meeting with the European Union's pre-election mission yesterday, CORD leaders Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetang'ula cited financial constraints facing the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and distribution of biometric voter registration (BVR) kits among concerns that could undermine the credibility of next year's polls.
