Opposition leader Raila Odinga has prioritised visits to Opposition strongholds that account for about half of the nine million potential new voters targeted for registration in the exercise that starts Monday.

State House, too, announced that President Uhuru Kenyatta who on Friday told thousands of Jubilee aspirants to set aside their differences to rally new voters for the ruling coalition, has planned several events to drum up support.
