News Just In - Opposition leader Raila Odinga Jets Back to Kenya

Raila Odinga, the opposition leader, returned to the country on Friday to a rousing welcome from politicians led by Martha Karua and Kalonzo Musyoka. Mr Odinga has returned to Nairobi for a grand rally to address the political crisis that has deepened since bipartisan talks between Azimio and the ruling Kenya Kwanza Alliance stalled, even as President William Ruto's side executed a counter-strategy designed to corner their rivals. With the bipartisan talks stalled after the opposition walked out over the inclusion of one opposition MP on the government team, the President's team swiftly reached an agreement to bring another opposition party into the ruling coalition fold. Azimio is resolute about resuming its anti-government protests, despite the fact that President Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza Alliance pleads with the opposition to give dialogue a chance.
