Sources close to the four co-principals – Raila Odinga, Moses Wetangula, Kalonzo Musyoka and Musalia Mudavadi – have revealed that the talks have collapsed due to hard line positions by some of the leaders.

The coordinating committee tasked with formulating guidelines on how to pick a flag bearer has also said it faced challenges in accomplishing its mandate due to non-cooperation from some members.

The team is chaired by Siaya Senator James Orengo and Johnson Muthama.

On Tuesday, confusion rocked the Opposition outfit, after a meeting of Raila, Mudavadi, Kalonzo and Wetangula failed to take place.

Sources privy to the NASA talks revealed the meeting did not take place due to the absence of Kalonzo and Wetangula.

Kalonzo was expected back in the country today from Dubai, but it can now be confirmed he left last night (Tuesday) for a “brief meeting” in Dubai

It is unclear whether the Wiper leader will be back in time to attend the NASA rally scheduled for this Friday.

Wetangula on the other hand, told the other principals that he was attending the ongoing Legislative Summit on devolution in Mombasa County.

Raila jetted back to the country on Monday from the United States, and was said to be taking a rest.

Mudavadi was tight lipped on why the meeting failed to take place.

“We trust they (coordinating committee) will find the way forward as soon as possible,” the Amani National Congress leader said on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, it emerged that all was not well in the NASA house with a section of leaders blaming their colleagues for leaking information from the proceedings of the co-ordinating committee in a bid to influence the choice of the presidential candidate – reports the Nation.

“Some people are leaking information on the working documents and they don’t realise what that is doing to the principals,” a source within NASA said.

Sources privy to the talks revealed that the NASA technical committee settled on two options of picking a flag bearer.

The four co-principals will be expected to agree among themselves on who will take on Jubilee’s Uhuru Kenyatta, but if they fail an electoral college will be constituted to elect the ideal candidate.

The Opposition has until April 15 to submit to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) the name of its presidential candidate.
