The electoral agency has registered only 78,024 new voters in Coast's six counties in the first week of the mass voter registration.

This low listing has caused anxiety within political circles in Coast, especially within CORD, whose co-principal Raila Odinga begins a tour of Kilifi this morning to rally support for the exercise.
