Wiper party leader and National Super Alliance Co-Principal Kalonzo Musyoka has revealed new details of a late night meeting held between him and the other NASA Principals during a retreat at the coast.
The former Vice President divulged that the leaders had agreed to abandon the parallel tallying centre plan and instead set up polling station committees at each of the 45,000 polling stations in the country.
He explained that these committees would tabulate the results conveyed by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) at the constituency polling stations.
"The committee will relay the results announced by IEBC to the coalition's central tallying centre. This will make it difficult to change the results after the final figures are released," Kalonzo explained.
The Wiper party leader asserted that the new strategy will ensure that rigging is altogether prevented, noting that the 5-member committees would stay in constant communication with the leaders.
"The committee members, through their chair, shall have direct contact with the NASA principals," he asserted.
The IEBC announced that the presidential tallies conveyed at the constituency polling centres would be considered as final results.
The four principals Kalonzo, Moses Wetangula (Ford Kenya), Raila Odinga (Orange Democratic Movement) and Musalia Mudavadi (Amani National Congress) had retreated to the coast to deliberate on various contentious issues rocking the coalition.
Reports, however, indicate that the NASA team did not reach any agreement on the flagbearer issue.
