With intense and delicate talks over a presidential candidate for Kenya’s Opposition, a hitherto little-known non-governmental organisation has moved to court claiming the acronym NASA.

The NGO wants the Raila-Kalonzo-Mudavadi-Wetang’ula team blocked from being registering Nasa as a political party. Northern Advocacy for Sustainable Agriculture (NASA) has gone to court seeking orders to stop the Registrar of Political Parties from registering the coalition.
