In a televised speech on April 2, 2023, President William Ruto signaled willingness to hold bipartisan talks with opposition leader Raila Odinga to end Azimio protests.

This came after the protests turned ugly, causing deaths and destruction of property. This did not, however, turn out well after the MPs on both sides failed to agree on whether the talks would take part in or outside Parliament.
