Opposition coalition NASA co-principal Musalia Mudavadi has maintained that the outfit will garner more than 10 million votes during the forthcoming general elections.
In an elaborate plan discussed by the former Deputy Prime Minister, Mudavadi revealed that NASA is engaging a team of experts that has been charged with the responsibility of brainstorming ideas on how the alliance can achieve maximum votes.
“We’ll have our teams in a round-robin move-around manoeuvre to cover the whole country. You’ll be surprised how our in-tray is overflowing with creative ideas from Kenyans of all levels and status. They’re volunteering ideas and their time. Ours is a people driven campaign,” Mudavadi said in an interview with the Saturday Nation.
“It is from this overflowing tray that we are putting together a team of high-level and skilled experts. Most are distinguished Kenyans. We will unveil the team pretty soon," he added.
Mudavadi, who is also the national chairman of the Nasa campaign committee further observed that the coalition will also galvanize its grassroot support, from which they will recruit volunteers who will "guard votes" during the polls.
“We are taking no chances with protecting the vote, we have the Adopt-a-Polling-Station strategy in place. We are setting up the logistical support systems for this strategy. It includes ability to tally at the polling station and transmit it instantly. A well-resourced directorate will oversee this task alone,” he said.
