The Election Observation Group (ELOG) yesterday said the IEBC needs time to handle other election-related issues, among them registration of diaspora voters and cleaning of the register. We would not recommend for an extension as it may compromise on other activities,” said ELOG Chair Regina Opondo. Data from the IEBC shows that with just three days to the deadline, only 2.1 million people out of the 6 million target have been registered.
