After weeks of battling with NASA against parties' parallel voter transmission, President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Jubilee Party has adopted the NASA idea and is now forming a multiplex vote tallying system similar to that of the Opposition.
The party is already setting up the elaborate system which will see JP collect, verify, tally as well as relay the Presidential results.
Uhuru’s re-election team has been pooled into six core units each of which will play a role in vote seeking and popularising the President.
These units comprise Strategy and Theme Advisers; Communication and Messaging; Technical/Resources; Political; Professionals; and the Women’s and Youth grassroots caucuses.
In a first-ever political task, President Uhuru Kenyatta’s firstborn Jomo Kenyatta was in attendance at the Jubilee strategy meeting as was the president's brother Muhoho Kenyatta.
“They are also discussing how to mobilise supporters to ensure a high turnout, especially among the youthful voters,” said a source as quoted by the Star.
