Six leaders were instrumental in organising the meeting between President William Ruto and opposition leader Raila Odinga in the presence of former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo in Mombasa last week.

On Sunday, President Ruto admitted that he held talks with Azimio leader Raila where they agreed that the opposition would end weekly protests. He said he has a duty to ensure peace and harmony in the country and that is why he held the talks.
