Nyali parliamentary aspirant, Said Abdallah, has stepped up efforts to mobilise residents to register as voters, conducting a series of grassroots engagements across key areas in Nyali, including Kongowea Market and Mkomani.

The exercise, which forms part of ongoing voter registration campaigns ahead of the next electoral cycle, saw the aspirant interact directly with traders, youth, and residents, urging them to take part in the democratic process.

Speaking during a visit to Kongowea Market  one of the busiest trading hubs in Mombasa  Abdallah emphasised the importance of civic participation, noting that voter registration is a critical step in shaping leadership.

“Registering as a voter is not just a right, it is your voice. Without it, you cannot influence the future of Nyali,” he said.

At Mkomani, the aspirant continued with door-to-door sensitisation and small public forums, where he encouraged first-time voters, particularly the youth, to take advantage of the ongoing registration exercise.

“We want to see young people come out in large numbers. Leadership decisions affect you the most, so you must be part of the process,” Abdallah added.

The mobilisation drive comes amid heightened political activity in Nyali, a key constituency in Mombasa County, as leaders and aspirants intensify efforts to boost voter turnout.

Kongowea, known for hosting one of the largest open-air markets in the region, remains a strategic point for such campaigns due to its high population and economic activity, while Mkomani continues to be a vital residential area within the constituency.

Political observers note that voter registration has become a central focus for aspirants seeking to build early support bases. Similar initiatives have been seen across the county, with leaders advocating for increased civic awareness and participation.

Abdallah concluded his tour by calling on electoral authorities to ensure the registration process remains accessible and transparent.

“We urge all stakeholders to make the process smooth and inclusive so that no eligible voter is left out,” he said.

The voter registration exercise is expected to continue in other parts of Nyali in the coming days as campaigns gather momentum.
