Mvita Mp Abdulswamad Nassir has urged Mombasa residents who have not registered as voters to do so when the mass voter registration exercise resumes on Monday.

Nassir who is eyeing the Mombasa Gubernatorial seat called on the residents to take advantage of the last phase and register in order to participate in the coming August elections.

Speaking in Mtongwe, Likoni, Nassir told the residents that the only way they can bring change and the leadership that they deserve is through registering as voters and taking part in the election.

"The voter's card is your best weapon to bring change and the leadership that you feel is right for you" said Nassir.

Adding "You will not bring change by just complaining, get out register yourself as a voter and have your say through your vote".

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) had anticipated to register 6 million new eligible voters but only managed to capture 1.5 million new voters, with a balance of 4.5 million eligible voters targeted in the next voters registration drive.

The ODM legislator further called on the residents especially youths to avoid leaders who out to incite and divide them.

Nassir charged "Let us be very careful of what politicians tell us, don't accept to be divided or incited by selfish politicians who have are just after their interests. When things go to worse, they will be nowhere to be seen".
