Leaders of one of the main political groupings are in retreat ahead of Saturday’s much publicised city rally.
Prime Minister Raila Odinga, Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka and Trade Minister Moses Wetang’ula began a two-day retreat last night to plan their campaign strategy.
Mr Odinga and Mr Musyoka are expected reveal who between them will be the coalition’s flagbearer.
Refused to reveal
A merged inter-party manifesto is also expected to be unveiled.
Allies said the retreat will discuss the possibility of fielding candidates under the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) at the retreat.
Although organisers refused to reveal the venue, sources said officials had booked space at a famous Naivasha lodge.
Mr Odinga and his coalition partners are expected to fine-tune details of their campaign structures. MP Johnstone Muthama (Kangundo) said:
“We are not going to share seats. But we are going to discuss how to make Kenya one indivisible country where tribalism is not used to undermine national stability.”
