Thirdway Alliance presidential candidate Ekuru Aukot has raised concern over media reports that the National Super Alliance has set up a tallying centre in Tanzania.
In a press statement, he said this was an upfront to the Constitution and Kenya’s sovereignty.
“I am worried about NASA’s plans to set up a parallel tallying centre in Tanzania. It offends our Constitution and undermines our sovereignty,” Aukot said.
There have been reports that NASA candidate Raila Odinga has set up a tallying centre in Kigamboni, Tanzania, with the approval of the Tanzanin government.
Aukot said he does not understand why Raila is keen to establish a tally centre outside the country. He added that this has brought up suspicions over Raila’s relations with Tanzania President John Magufuli and the Kenyan neighbour’s influence in the General Election.
“On this day, we are putting Raila and his collaborators, wherever they are in this world, on notice. We are civilised people,” Aukot said.
In June, NASA announced the setting up of three tallying centres in Germany, Kenya and Tanzania.
Officials in Dar es Salaam had said the Kenyan Government had officially complained to Tanzania for allowing NASA to set up the centre.
