Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has held talks with opposition leader Raila Odinga in the capital Nairobi.
This is the first time the two rivals are meeting since last year’s contested elections.
“Had the great pleasure of welcoming my brotherRaila Odinga to Harambee House where we had the opportunity for extensive discussions on matters Kenya. We have come to a common understanding, an understanding that this country of Kenya is greater than any one individual,” Uhuru wrote on his social media platforms.
While addressing the press conference after the meeting, President Kenyatta added that “we will begin a process of bringing our people together”.
Meanwhile, Raila Odinga said “it is time to resolve our differences”.
It was their first meeting since last October’s re-run of the presidential election.
Mr Kenyatta won 98% of the vote.
Mr Odinga, pulled out of the re-run, and later proclaimed himself the “people’s president” in a mock inaguration ceremony.
The unexpected meeting comes hours before the arrival of US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in Nairobi for a four-day state visit.
