Despite some concerns regarding the integrity of the voter register and the board’s decision to operate from Kandanda House, the five-member board has committed to ensuring free, fair, and transparent elections.
Presidential hopeful Hussein Mohammed has expressed worries that the board’s proximity to the incumbent office at Kandanda House may lead to potential manipulation.
