Raila Unveils Strategy to Protect Votes at Polling Station

Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) leader Raila Odinga has disclosed a winning method used by newly inaugurated Ghanian President Nana Akufo Addo, which he says would be used by the Opposition.

Odinga, who is on a voter mobilisation tour in the Coastal region, said that he would employ the “adopt-a-polling-station” strategy of forming a committee to protect votes in every polling station.

According to the CORD leader, the committees would be tasked with ensuring no malpractice would be witnessed in the voting stations.

“We must adopt a polling station policy whereby each polling station must have a committee to detect and deter any incidence of election malpractice,” stated Odinga.

The former Prime Minister assured that having been tried and proven successful in Ghana, the system would equally be used to ensure the Opposition won in the upcoming polls.

"It is the system that was used in Ghana and led to the win of my friend Nana Akufo-Addo. That is what we shall do in August,” he affirmed.

Speaking in Kwale during the same drive, Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho and his Kilifi counterpart Amason Kingi promised to employ the method to secure the Opposition's votes in the Coastal region.

They vowed that they would not allow any election fraud to happen under their watch to ensure they actualise their plan of sending home the Jubilee government.

Last week, Odinga revealed that he received a winning strategy from the Ghanaian Head of State when he attended his inauguration.
