Former President Uhuru Kenyatta holds a closed-door meeting with Azimio leader Raila Odinga with a section of Jubilee Party members.
According to Jubilee Party Deputy Organising Secretary Pauline Njoroge, the two leaders held a meeting with Jubilee leaders from Kiambu County.
“Uhuru Kenyatta and Hon. Raila Odinga meeting Jubilee leaders from Kiambu County, and other party leaders this evening,” Njoroge stated.
Raila and Uhuru were flanked by Rachel Shebesh, Pauline Njoroge, Embakasi West MP Mark Muriithi Mwenje, and former Nyeri deputy governor Caroline Karugu, among others.
Although the public has yet to know the purpose of the meeting, gatherings attended by the two coalition heads have been rare in recent months.
The meeting comes amid disquiet within Azimio following Raila’s decision to approve the National Dialogue Committee’s report.

Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karau criticized the recommendations of the report, saying they were not in line with the aspirations of many Azimio la Umoja followers.
According to Karua, the committee failed to address three issues pertinent to the opposition coalition.
Karua asked Kenyans to reject the bipartisan report, arguing that it was only meant to offer goodies to the leaders and not the common Kenyan.
Jubilee Party secretary-general Jeremiah Kioni has also issued his reservations about the report, arguing that the issues of the high cost of living and Kenya Kwanza stopping interference with the former ruling party were non-negotiable.
The meeting also comes after some ODM MPSs accused Uhuru of forging an alliance with President William Ruto.
This was after the former president met the US and UK Ambassadors to Kenya whom Raila allies accused of interfering with the 2022 general election results.
