The Tuko Kadi movement has asserted that the movement is eyeing up to 2.5 million new voters to have registered by the end of the ongoing Enhanced Continuous Voter Registration (ECVR) exercise on April 30.

Taking it to his X account on Saturday, April 18, 2026, the movement initiator Allan Ademba observed that the registration exercise in the last two weeks alone has registered 1,370,930 new voter cards, which were supplemented by another 495,429 new voter cards in just a period of one week, a fact that he claims to be an indication of an increasing civic awareness among the Kenyans.

“Tumepata kadi 1, 370, 930 na two weeks za ECVR. Halafu kadi 495, 429 na one week. IEBC wenyewe wameconfirm mayut ndo majority. Tunapata at least kadi 100, 000 daily. Tumebaki na almost 10 days za ECVR. 2.5M inawezekana before 30th April. 2.5M Strong Tuko Kadi,” Ademba stated.

The movement reports that the rate of registration has recently reached approximately 100,000 new voter cards per day and has a momentum that they believe is capable of continuing to propel the estimated 2.5 million new voter cards to date by the deadline.

With such momentum, Ademba said, it is not only achievable but also probable to reach 2.5 million new voters by April 30.

Tuko Kadi movement also contends that the current renewal drive of registration is a demonstration of new enthusiasm to participate in democracy, more so for the youth who are gearing up to shape the next electoral cycle.

With the registration period closing, Ademba has urged Kenyans who have not registered or updated their voter details to do so before the last days.

IEBC updates on voter registration

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has recorded a significant increase in the ongoing Enhanced Continuous Voter Registration (ECVR), with new voter registrations of 1.3 million in just 18 days.

In an update on Friday, April 17, 2026, the electoral body said a total of 1,370,930 new voters had been registered between March 30 and April 16, 2026, marking a steady increase of 495,429 registrations since the commission’s last update on April 9, 2026.

“The Commission extends its deepest gratitude to the 1,370,930 Kenyans who have registered as new voters since the commencement of ECVR,” the statement read in part.

The commission has attributed the spike largely to young first-time voters, describing it as a strong indication of renewed civic engagement across the country.
