Prime Minister Raila Odinga on Thursday held talks with the New Ford Kenya party leader Eugene Wamalwa as political parties continue forming coalitions.
Mr Wamalwa said he was holding a consultative meeting with the Orange Democratic Party leader before talking to other coalitions.
“It is the early days yet in the game, everything is still happening. We will continue holding talks with Raila, Musalia and others in different coalitions,” he said.
However, the Prime Minister declined to comment about the talks held at a Nairobi hotel.
ODM’s James Orengo vaguely stated that the two teams had held “very productive talks”.
Mr Wamalwa failed to reveal what position he is likely to take up on joining the coalition simply saying that, “anything is possible”.
“We were just having a cup of tea with the Prime Minister and his team and consulting generally. After the December 4 deadline, coalitions can now talk to each other,” he said.
On Tuesday, the Justice and Constitution minister was part of other presidential aspirants who formed the Pambazuko Coalition ticket.
The coalition brought together the New Vision Party headed by Nicholas Biwott, Cyrus Jirongo’s Federal Party of Kenya, Shirikisho and New Ford-K. According to the deal, the flag bearer will be elected by the National Delegates Committee.
