Diplomatic efforts to resolve Kenya’s presidential election impasse were raised today with Ghana President John Kufuor holding a series of meetings with the rival camps, but there is still no word on progress.
President Kufuor first met his Kenyan counterpart, President Kibaki in the morning before holding talks with the Orange Democratic Party.
The talks with ODM were done in two parts, first holding a meeting with ODM leader Raila Odinga before the two joined a larger team from the party.
The ODM team retreated into a party meeting and instead informed journalists that they would not be issuing any comment on the talks, with a spokesman, Mr Salim Lone only saying that President Kufuor was due to hold a second round of talks with President Kibaki.
A dispatch from the Presidential Press Service after the two presidents met in the morning said that Kufuor was “briefed on political developments” in Kenya by his host.
President Kibaki assured Kufuor that he had already initiated a process of dialogue with other Kenyan leaders to find sustainable solution to the current political situation in the country.
