Raila meets Limuru III organizers
Later in the day, Raila met with Limuru III conference organizers.
In an update on his verified X handle, the Azimio leader said the meeting provided an opportunity for the organizers to give him a full report of the meeting.
Narc Kenya Party leader Martha Karua and Jubilee Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni were among the organizers of the event that brought together several leaders from the Mount Kenya region allied to the Azimio coalition.
