What you need to know:

  • Mr Odinga called the crucial meeting of secretaries-general of the more than 20 parties within the coalition party.
  • The meeting follows claims of alteration of the agreement deposited with the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties.

Party leaders at crisis talks to end wrangling in the coalition on whose ticket Mr Raila Odinga will contest the presidency were told of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s firm message that the bickering has to stop.

At the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition party meeting yesterday, the secretariat’s Executive Director Raphael Tuju reportedly delivered the message from the President, who is Azimio’s council chairman.
