This follows remarks made by Raila in an exclusive interview with Citizen TV where he said that NASA is 'dead' by virtue that it did not win the 2017 elections.

"Nasa was a pre-election coalition, but if you have not won (then) that coalition automatically collapses," stated Raila.

In a rejoinder, Siso who is a close ally to former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka on Sunday accused ODM of playing politics with NASA coalition.

“Raila is that strange soldier who abandons troops at the centre of war. As per the agreement that was deposited with the Registrar of Political Parties, we can only dissolve when three parties write to the Registrar,” Siso told the Star.

He said Wiper is okay with Raila decision to ditch NASA but warned that joining another coalition would haunt him.

“If Raila has decided to get new partners, we wish him well. All we know is that this will haunt him and the rest of his cheer groups as you know we are headed to coalition building, emerging formations and I want to see a new partnership that does not want to learn from past experiences of a partner’s engagement with others,” he said.

NASA was a coalition conceived after ODM, Wiper, Ford Kenya and ANC joined forces in the run-up to the 2017 general elections.
