Ex-Kakamega Senator Bonny Khalwale has conspicuously dropped his push for inauguration of Raila Odinga, instead called for dialogue from both sides.
A charged NASA coalition insists that the swearing-in shall go on as planned despite internal dissent from a section if members.
"To get rid of electoral injustices, we must swear in Raila first. This is the only way the will of people shall be respected," said Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala.
Also opposed to the swearing-in are Dan Amenyo and Wiper Deputy leader Farah Maalim who wants a moderate approach.
And Khalwale, who has been pushing for Raila's inauguration, has however joined modrate forces within the coalition.
"My position is that dialogue is better than swearing-in. Remember Jubilee has not ruled out dialogue," he told local media.
With calls to cancel the January 30th event, NASA secretariat has vowed to move on with the plans regardless of the outcome.
