Senior citizens continue to defy age and failing health to choose their preferred candidates despite a decline in the number of young people registering and turning out to vote in Kenyan elections.

Like on August 9 when a significant number of the elderly took to polling stations to elect leaders of their choice, dozens, as of 11am, continue to trickle to polling stations in eight electoral areas after they opened Monday.
