The National Super Alliance (NASA) has brought on board seasoned experts with vast experience to put in place a parallel tallying centre ahead of the coming elections.
The parallel tallying centre to be established by the Opposition is expected to deliver results of the presidential election within 8 hours after closure of the voting exercise.
Reports leaked to a local daily indicate that Joe Anokye who is credited with setting up a similar system in Ghana has been linked with NASA's parallel tallying centre.
Also linked to the NASA strategy is Jesse Boateng whose experience include working with United States politician Hillary Clinton. Boateng also worked with Ghana's Nana Akufo Ado to establish a similar system.
The two will be supported by a team of IT experts mostly from Germany and Ghana to establish a parallel tallying centre and a system that will ensure no rigging.
NASA will also deploy agents across all the 41,000 polling centres on the day of elections to monitor the exercise and relay the results to the parallel tallying centre.
At the centre of the strategy is a plan by NASA calling on party supporters to "adopt a polling station".
On the election day, the Opposition has disclosed that it will have at least 5 representatives in each polling station to defend the votes and give NASA competitors no room for mischief.
Constitutionally, it is only the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) that is mandated to give the results and announce the winner during elections.
The decision by NASA to establish a parallel tallying centre was strongly opposed by Jubilee and ended up in court.
The Jubilee Party later announced that it would adopt a similar strategy and establish its own tallying centre.
The move is meant to bring to an end what the Opposition termed "perennial vote rigging" and pressure the electoral body to deliver free, credible and fair elections whose results can be verified.
NASA's team is believed to be drawing heavily from the experience in Ghana where some members of the team helped to put in place a system that saw long-serving Opposition leader Nana Akufo Ado beat the incumbent John Dramani Mahama.
