Raila can’t vote as Kenyans decide

The Standard Online Edition: "ODM presidential candidate Mr Raila Odinga has not voted. His name is missing from Lang’ata constituency poll register. He has protested to Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) at KICC that a large chunk of register was missing.
But ECK Commissioner Jack Tumwa assured him that a full register will be availed to polling stations.
Tumwa attributed the mishap to splitting of registers using alphabetical order.
'No name has been deleted from the register. All names are there,' Tumwa assured the Press at KICC where the ECK has set up a media centre.
It is alleged that people whose names start with letters A, O, R and W would not vote because their names are missing from Lang’ata constituency registers. Incidentally, bearers of names with these initials hail from communities where ODM presidential candidate enjoys a large following. Raila promised to go back to vote later in the day."
