The much touted tyranny of numbers in Mt Kenya region is a lie, Nyeri region elections coordinator John Muhia has said.
Muhia explained that Nyeri is supposed to have registered 400,000 new voters from 2013 to date but has less than 10,000.
Nyandarua county is trailing with its 2,116 new voters, he said, and compared the county with Kakamega in Western, which he said has 15,000 new voters.
This, he said during a forum at Mood Hotel in Ol Kalou on Friday, means "the people of Mt Kenya region have a reason to be very worried".
"Our people are asleep," he added at a stakeholders mass voter registration forum in Nyandarua. Kirinyaga is the other county in the region.
Mwangi said the IEBC is ready to work with all stakeholders to make the mass voter registration exercise set for February 15 to March 15 a success.
He called on politicians, the church and the media to play an active role. The politicians, he said, should forget their party affiliations and bury their political differences for the common good.
Former Ol Kalou MP Erastus Mureithi earlier said the idea that Mt Kenya region has the numbers to enable Jubilee win the next election is an illusion.
"Our people deceive themselves about having enough votes. The truth is that in other parts of Kenya children are being born and new voters registered are daily," Mureithi said at Ol joro Orok.
