NASA claims only 3.5 million Kenyans voted

National Super Alliance has dismissed the 38% voter turn out reported by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, alleging that not more than 3.5 million Kenyans came out to vote in the repeat October 26 election.

In a statement to newsrooms, NASA has accused Jubilee of massive rigging in what they term as ‘pseudo-elections’ saying IEBC conducted the repeat poll in a more fraudulent manner than the August 8, General Elections.

“There is so little national support for Uhuru now that even as the sole candidate, he needed massive rigging to hide the fact that an abysmally low number of Kenyans turned out to vote – a total of 3.5 million or less than 20 per cent of registered voters,” said the statement.

NASA claims that IEBC discarded 3.5 million votes shown by KIEMS opting for manual tallying, which gave way for them to doctor forms and figures and in that case, adding 5 million manually to the 3.5 million tallied votes.

“In manual tallying one can of course doctor the forms and the figures. In this case, IEBC added 5 million manually tallied votes to the 2.5 million recorded by KIEMS! That is how Uhuru Kenyatta got 7.5 million votes,” read the statement.

NASA through Raila Odinga’s advisor, Salim Lone have maintained that they want a new, credible election, saying they will now go back to campaigning, which will be strategised on unprecedented civil resistance, non-cooperation and economic boycotts hoping to end decades of crimes.

NASA further commended envoys who did not attend the declaration of president Uhuru Kenyatta in yesterday’s ceremony at BOMAS of Kenya, hoping that it was a re-commitment on their part to be true friends of Kenyans, rather than the friends of an illegitimate government.

“They have no doubt been chastened and embarrassed by the grossly criminal behavior of a government they supported, and even intimidated the Supreme Court justices into staying away from hearing the case on the legality of this election last Wednesday,” read the statement.
