The National Super Alliance (NASA) has abandoned its 'adopt-a-polling-station' strategy, which called on all Opposition supporters to vote and remain at polling stations to guard their votes.
NASA Leaders on Thursday announced a change of plan where they urged their supporters to vote and move away from the polling stations to avoid confrontation with the authorities.
Speaking at Kibos grounds in Kisumu, NASA co-principals Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka, Musalia Mudavadi, and Moses Wetang'ula noted that the change of strategy was aimed at avoiding any fracas and falling into "Jubilee's trap".
Mr Musyoka stated that the Opposition had received intelligence that the Government was planning to use security personnel to provoke their supporters hanging around polling centres causing tension that would disrupt the electoral process.
"We have changed the strategy on adopting a polling station.
"We now want our people to vote, leave the stations, and probably move to the nearest market centres, where they will periodically monitor the voter turnout, and then move to the villages to get out the people who have not voted to come out and vote," Musyoka stated.
Senator Wetang'ula echoed the Wiper leader's remarks explaining that the decision was arrived at after considering that any disruption of voting may hamper maximum voter turnout in NASA strongholds.
NASA presidential candidate on his part called on all their supporters to turn out and vote in large numbers to ensure that the Jubilee regime is sent home.
In the past few months, the Opposition leaders have been calling on their supporters to vote and remain at the polling stations to guard their votes.
The plan, according to NASA, was aimed at ensuring high voter turn out and no electoral misconduct at the polling stations.
The plan, however, created a lot of debate with IEBC and the government stating that it was illegal and would not be allowed.
