Opposition leader Raila Odinga has described the ongoing mass voter registration as a do-or-die exercise for his fourth stab at the presidency.

Raila declared that the August 8 General Election would be won during the 30-day exercise that opened yesterday and ends on February 14. And President Kenyatta challenged law enforcement agencies to deal firmly with those who fan hate speech ahead of elections, on a day the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) started registering voters hoping to list the nine million potential new electors.
