The National Super Alliance (NASA) coalition has adopted a new strategy to ensure that their supporters who are registered in Nairobi cast their ballots on August 8.
Spearheaded by Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama, who is heading the Nairobi campaign team, the Opposition is calling on its supporters to 'Adopt-A-Bus Station' and stop people from going to their rural homes.
Launching the strategy, Senator Muthama and ODM gubernatorial candidate for Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero urged voters not to flee the city, assuring that security would be tight on voting day.
"We do not want you to go back home. Let us adopt bus stations and stop people from departing for their rural homes.
"There will be no violence as the elections will be peaceful and so there is no need for people to go home," Dr Kidero told members of the Luhya community at the Nyayo National Stadium on Sunday.
The Governor went on to promise that the Opposition will guarantee security for everybody, urging the voters to turn out in large numbers.
Mr Muthama cautioned the supporters not to neglect their democratic right to vote as it would hand their opponents victory on voting day.
"Let us ensure that we send this government home on August 8. But this will only happen if we all remain to vote en masse on the election day," Muthama urged.
Many voters in Nairobi county are planning to leave the city during the elections in fear that violence may break out.
Speaking to the Daily Nation, travellers at the Machakos Country Bus Terminus conveyed their various reasons for leaving the city so close to election day.
"I fear for violence erupting after the elections and I do not want to risk my life," Ms Millicent Nyaboke conveyed.
Others, however, said they were going to vote as they are registered in their rural home areas.
