The National Super Alliance (NASA) has come up with a strategy to guard against rigging and ensure high turnout in their strongholds.
Led by its flagbearer Raila Odinga, the alliance when they campaigned in Nyamira, the alliance held rallies in different areas of the county, where they sold their agenda to the Kisii people.
Raila, who was flanked by his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka and Opposition chiefs Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetang’ula, urged locals to support the Opposition, saying they had the best interests of the locals.
The visit came three days after Deputy President William Ruto’s team toured the area, where they promised to deliver more on their promises to the area locals if re-elected.
The alliance said it will implement their adopt-a-polling-station strategy, terming it the surest way to guard against rigging and beat Jubilee.
The strategy needs Sh410 million to be implemented, a figure the alliance is seeking from well-wishers.
The money will be used to pay agents who will be stationed at the 41,000 polling stations to ensure there is no rigging.
“The youths will also be actively involved in vote tallying on Election Day. They will keep vigil until results are declared,” said Raila.
This was Raila’s first trip to the county since his nomination as NASA presidential candidate and his clearance by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, although other NASA leaders have visited the area before.
