Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has stated that he will discuss the next course of action with his ODM party.
Speaking on Monday after meeting with President William Ruto at State House in Mombasa, Raila said that he will soon meet with his friends and supporters for deliberations before deciding on his next course of action.
"I will conduct extensive consultations, and we will eventually announce our course of action," he stated.

The ODM leader added that his party was prepared to cooperate with others in order to promote national cohesion.
He further emphasized that his decision to compete for the seat was personal and thanked President Ruto for his unwavering support during the campaign.
