Kiambu County leaders have urged the youth to come out in large numbers and register as voters.

The leaders raised concerns over the low turnout in most constituencies in the county that was targeting 300,000 new voters. So far, less than 50,000 people have enlisted as mass voter registration closes on Thursday.
