The ruling Jubilee Party has once again rubbished NASA's popularity in the nation.
Speaking in an interview on Citizen TV Sunday, the party secretary general Raphael Tuju maintained that the Raila Odinga-led team is a weak side hence its unwillingness to participate in the October 26 polls.
He said that the team has to make some unrealistic achievements if it were to secure a win in the coming polls, should its candidate Raila Odinga make a u-turn and confirm his participation in the race or have his demands to have the elections postponed granted.
''Based on our figures, NASA will have to win by more than 90 percent in all the swing votes in addition to their strongholds in order to win the election which is impossible,'' said Tuju.
He as well condemned the ongoing demonstrations terming them as blackmail.
Tuju said that upon realization that they cannot win, NASA leaders are using unconstitutional ways to force their way into government.
''They are using demos to blackmail the nation and the Jubilee party into a negotiation table with a coalition government in mind but that will not succeed. They are finding it hard to accept defeat and are seeking unconstitutional ways to bulldoze their way into government anyway,'' he said.
NASA has however insisted that it is not interested in a coalition government saying that it won the August 8 polls.
