NASA principals at the Bomas of Kenya [Photo/The Star].On April 27, the National Super Alliance (NASA) principals cemented their unity at the historical Uhuru Park grounds by endorsing ODM party leader Raila Odinga as the coalition presidential candidate, despite increased rumors that the team will fall.However, according to political pundit and advocate of the high court Kamotho Waiganjo, NASA should not celebrate their unity because they still have a lot of pending issues to work on before they push up their decibels in saying P.O Box Gatundu to president Uhuru Kenyatta.Waiganjo says NASA should ensure that all constituencies that support them vote enthusiastically."While this is not a big deal for Raila/Mudavadi constituencies, voters in Kalonzo/Wetangula core areas will require a lot to keep the enthused because this two have held the same positions they held when NASA was CORD, because no one doubts that this election will be won largely by turn out, failure to keep these two constituencies enthused will cost NASA big," he said.Secondly, the advocate said for NASA to win they must be keen how they brand Central Kenya region in their quest for the house on the hill."NASA must resist the temptation of demonising Central Kenya, it needs to ban the kind of ethnic bilge that emanated from Wetangula's mouth during the launch. If there is anything that will guarantee a 100 percent turn out in Gema and its diaspora it is such talk," he said.Thirdly, the analyst says NASA must ensure whenever the poke holes in Jubilee administration it must be credible."NASA must present a credible platform that is not just about being anti-Jubilee. Truth be told anything that NASA leaders attack Jubilee about finds expression in the NASA line up, whether it be corruption, ineptitude or tribalism. The difference in the two tickets has to be about credible platforms," he said.Finally, Waiganjo said NASA must accept the results if they are reasonably free and fair, based on assessment, not by their independent parties.Waiganjo also warned Jubilee party not to underestimate NASA since that may come back to haunt them.
