Third Way Alliance Secretary-General Frederick Okango has said that his party's push for constitutional reforms is a success so far.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) on Wednesday began the job of scrutinising the signatures collected by the party.
Okango on Thursday said that the party followed all the guidelines as dictated by the IEBC, and is confident that the agenda will be approved and forwarded to the parliament.
He said that unlike the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) alliance's flopped similar bid after the 2013 polls, this new one will culminate in a national referendum.
"Punguza Mzigo na Okoa Kenya ni tofauti maana sisi tulikaa chini na IEBC na tukapewa kanuni za kufuata (the 'Punguza Mzingo' initiative is different from Okoa Kenya because we consulted with the IEBC and were given the guidelines to follow)," he said.
Okango who has since declared interest in the Kasipul Kabondo parliamentary seat in the 2022 polls was speaking on Milele FM's Kivumbi show on Thursday morning.
He said that the Okoa Kenya referendum bid failed as a result of its sponsors' inability to abide by the laws, including dictates that signature owners must include their counties and polling stations.
"Okoa Kenya ilianguka maana CORD haikufuata kanuni za IEBC. Majina lazima yaambatane na sahihi na pia yafuatwe na details kama constituency, kaunti na polling stations (Okoa Kenya failed because CORD failed to abide by the IEBC directives. The names must be accompanied by the signatures, constituency, counties and polling stations)," he said.
CORD consisted of ODM leader Raila Odinga and his Wiper and Ford Kenya counterparts Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula respectively.
