Only 760,000 Kenyans have registered as new voters against a target of 4.5 million by this week, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman Wafula Chebukati has revealed.

He said the agency is concerned about the low voter registration trend as the mass listing drive is planned to end on Tuesday, November 2.
