NASA Threatens to Boycott August 8 Elections

National Super Alliance (NASA) leaders have threatened to boycott the August 8 elections claiming they have evidence that the Jubilee government was plotting to use the military to rig the poll.

Addressing a press conference on Friday, Opposition leaders Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka further claimed that Jubilee had extra ballots that they would use in ballot stuffing.

"The attempt by Uhuru Kenyatta to involve some members of our military to interfere in Aug 8th Elections is illegal and amounts to a coup," NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga stated.

"We suspect the ballot papers have already been printed; we don't know why IEBC is telling us to send agents to Al Ghurair," he added.

On his part, Kalonzo noted that the opposition had a document detailing how Jubilee would use the military to create a state of anarchy in order to stay in power.

The Wiper Leader stated that some of the duties of the officers would be to disconnect power in various towns and cities

He read out the names and contacts of officers who he claimed would be point men in Central Kenya, a region perceived to be President Uhuru Kenyatta's stronghold.

In June, Odinga accused the Jubilee administration of dragging the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) into politics.

Odinga claimed that selected officers were being trained for recruitment as polling and presiding officers to help rig the August General Election.
