President Uhuru Kenyatta's Jubilee party will adopt the opposition's winning strategy of parallel tallying to monitor presidential candidates votes in the August 2017 General Election.
Under advisement from it's election management committee, the party has dropped its hard stance on the matter and is already setting up elaborate structures to facilitate the new plan.
The ruling party has contracted the services of the global data mining firm Cambridge Analytica that is credited with having helped US President Donald Trump win the election as well as Britain in the Brxit move.
In addition, the party has also enlisted the British public relations firm BTP which managed The National Alliance (TNA) campaign in 2013.
Jubilee party Vice Chairman David Murathe explained that the new move was well within the rights of the party allowed by the law and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
"Everyone, from an MCA up to the President, is allowed to have agents in polling centres to relay the results to a call centre," he defended.
Murathe, however, assured that the party would adhere to the guidelines set by the IEBC and allow the body to announce the official results.
"Everyone has a right to ensure votes are not rigged, but not allowed to announce wrong results and declare himself President" the Chairman reiterated.
The National Super Alliance (NASA) caused a stir when they first announced their strategy which forced the IEBC to set up the new guidelines which allowed all parties to have parallel tallying centres.
The opposition coalition intends to have agents at each polling station who will take video and photographic evidence of the vote tallies and relay them to the central command centre.
According to the IEBC, all results of the independent tallying centres will be used for the party's internal purposes.
