Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has revealed President William Ruto was under "immense pressure" from the international community to hold talks with Azimio leader Raila Odinga to end the weekly demonstrations.

Speaking in Mombasa on Thursday, March 30, Gachagua, said Ruto will not bow to pressure to accommodate Raila in government in any form and "any dialogue can only be anchored on grounds that Raila exits politics permanently".
