It will be a Jubilee election and others but not us as NASA," she said.Addressing the press in Nambale on Saturday, Mutua said October 26th will be a holiday, for NASA supporters."Let our members stay indoors. Those who will purport to block those who want to go and cast their votes will be Jubilee goons to portray it is NASA who are causing mayhem," she said.The ODM lawmaker said President Uhuru Kenyatta had ruled out dialogue with the opposition leader, adding that NASA members will wait for direction from their leader, Raila Odinha, on the way forward after IEBC declined to address NASA's 12 irreducible minimum reforms to participate in the elections.Tialal however assured voters of their security on voting day."Enough security will be deployed to deal with those who will try to scare others from going to exercise their constitutional rights across the county," he said.
