Jubilee Party boss Raphael Tuju has termed NASA's anti- IEBC protests "Luo mass action", saying they
are "only in Kisumu, Homa Bay, Siaya and Kibera and not in other NASA strongholds".
"This narrative that there is mass action or 'no Raila no reforms'... going out there...let us be honest...this is not mass action," the secretary general said on Sunday.
"I have not seen people waving a twig in Kitui, Makueni, Machakos or in Vihinga where [NASA co-principal Musalia]
Mudavadi comes from to say they don't like the IEBC.
"Let us call it what it is...it is Luo mass
action. At my age I don't need to preten...it is Luo mass action."

NASA candidate Raila Odinga pulled out of the repeat October 26
election citing plans to rig and IEBC's incapacity to conduct a free, fair and credible election.
He called for protests to push for reforms at the commission and has insisted there will be no election until major changes are made.
Opposition supporters have vowed to ensure there shall be no election in the alliance's strongholds.
But IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati said he does not think this will be the case.

Tuju said the law requires IEBC to open poling stations everywhere in the country.
"Anyone who stops them from conducting the election is guilty of an offence that is punishable by up to five years of imprisonment. If one or two candidates, or whatever number, try to be party to stopping IEBC from conducting themselves, they are conducting an electoral offence."
Tuju said NASA principals Raila, Mudavadi, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetang'ula should be jailed for electoral offences if they incite their supporters to disrupt the election.
"Not only are they liable to be in prison if they think they can benefit from doing an illegality...if you can rob somebody and benefit from robbing somebody which law is that? They are in a corner and I am kind of sorry for them."
Tuju spoke at Multi Media University in Rongai after closing the training of 820 who will train more than 40,000 JP agents countrywide.
He said the electoral laws that were passed recently are appropriate for addressing challenges experienced during the August 8 general election.
The SG faulted the Opposition for wanting exclusive reliance on electronic transmission.
"Why was it that they only wanted that one? [It was so] they could say the results were in the server...that was it."
He noted that even in Germany and Netherlands - two developed countries - they have not only stopped but outlawed use of electronic transmission and electronic voting.
"It is illegal...you may not do it because it is known you can hack the systems so our famous NASA [can carry on] with their back up in Tanzania, Germany and the cloud."
