By IRENE MUGOMore by this AuthorOver 8,000 former internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Nyeri have vowed to boycott voting if the electoral commission does not simplify the process of transferring a voter from one polling station to another. The former IDPs living along the Nyeri-Laikipia border complained that they are being directed to Nanyuki to change their polling stations from Nyeri to Laikipia County after new boundaries were set mid last year. “No one has been blocked from transferring their vote to the location of their choice. The changes led to over 15,000 people moved from Kieni constituency to Laikipia East. Another resident, Ms Jane Wamuyu, said that many people might not vote due to the IEBC procedure.
