@Obi,
History will not be made and no record will be broken.Let's look at that history then;

Year Turnout Votes Registered
2007 69.09% 9,877,028 14,296,180
2002 57.18% 5,975,910 10,451,150
1992 66.81% 5,248,596 7,855,880

Three things
1992 was the year of Ford.Very Euphoric!
2002 was time to send the Nyayo error home...Equally euphoric
2007 was the year of 41 agains one....So euphoric we butchered one another.
2013......is there any euphoria to bring the masses out?If we can't point one,then we are staring voter apathy especially in Provinces where there is nothing in it for "them"....I still insist that 70%+ average voter turnout is a dream!!

The Jubilee Alliance,
whose engine room is
Mr Kenyatta’s The
National Alliance (TNA),
is one of Kenya’s all-
time most remarkable
political formations.
Youthful, vibrant,
confident, forward-
looking, Jubilee is not
only the face of Kenya
but also of Kenya’s
future.
Kagwanja huffs and
puffs about the fact
that Jubilee Alliance
leaders Kenyatta and
William Ruto have cases
to answer at the
International Criminal
Court. So what?

@Njung'e, I hear you but I have to ask, do the analysts know why these people bothered to register as voters yet they do not turn out to vote?

@limanika, I voted for Kibaki in '92, '97 and he eventually won the 2002 elections which are the only ever known fair and undisputed elections in Kenya.

@2012,

I have no answer to that.Somehow,it's a universal problem.Figure this.In the last US election,the turnout was a miserable 57.5% (This was also the highest since 1972)....and only elections held between 1840 and 1900 registered figures above 70%...... i would also want to know what goes here.

The 2 sides are under-estimating the third force candidates. These guys IMO will make them not garner 50pc in round 1. Going forward, it will depend on how CORD will do their campaigns. They base it on the issue of economy and scare the voter with possible economic troubles to be brought by a Jubilee win.
