NASA members ran into an obstacle following the directive of the Speaker.
Nairobi, being a Jubilee stronghold with numbers in all parliamentary houses: County Assembly, National and Senate assemblies following the August 8 General Election, the motion was expected to fail.
NASA brigade has been pushing for its 19 opposition-led counties to pass the motion.
10 counties have so far passed the motion and one of them includes Jubilee-led Kwale County.
The motion, among other things, does not recognize the legitimacy of Kenyatta's Presidency and seeks to have a constitutional authority put in place to rule as preparations for a fresh election are undertaken.
