The team that crafted the coalition agreement for the National Super Alliance (NASA) will retreat for three days to tackle the thorny issue of the joint Opposition presidential candidate. It also emerged that the NASA leaders have ruled out nomination as a formula for picking the flag bearer. They will settle for boardroom negotiation and consensus.
NASA did not name its presidential candidate yesterday when the four co-principals signed the pact that legally binds them to the coalition; apparently to give them room for more negotiations on power-sharing.
