President Kibaki and the Orange Democratic Movement leader Raila Odinga have both arrived at Nairobi’s Harambee House for the first face-to-face talks over the political crisis out of disputed election results.

No agenda has been given for the talks brokered by a team of international mediators led by former UN chief Kofi Annan.

Mr Odinga was accompanied by one of his party’s top officials, Mr William Ruto.
President Kibaki arrived with five members of his Cabinet, including Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka and Ministers George Saitoti (Security), Martha Karua (Justice), Samuel Poghisio (Information) and Ali Mwakwere (Transport).

The joint meeting comes after Mr Annan’s team met President Kibaki at State House earlier today and the ODM side yesterday evening.

The Harambee House meeting was announced soon after the Annan team left State House.
"At 4.30pm today there will be a meeting between Kofi Annan and President Kibaki and Honourable Odinga at the Office of the President, Harambee House," a statement from the Annan team said.
