The National Super Alliance (NASA) have made changes in their team ahead of August General Election set to take place next week on Tuesday.

NASA have replaced James Orengo with Musalia Mudavadi has their Chief polls agent for the August 8 general election.

Early on, the coalition had picked on James Orengo as the chief agent assisted by lawyer Norman Magaya.

In a letter dated July 31, the Presidential flag bear of the NASA coalition Raila Odinga has asked IEBC to consider the changes and disregard prior communication on matter.

"Treat the above as my duly designated national agents," said Raila in the letter

Mudavadi has been tasked with the responsibility of monitoring the declaration of presidential results at the National tallying centre at Bomas of Kenya and will be assisted by Olga Karani.

However the letter also reveals that Orengo will remain the alternate chief agent for the coalition.

Agents will be required to scrutinise presidential results declaration forms and make sure the tallies are the same as those announced at the constituencies before appending their signatures.
