Kenya’s presidential contender Raila Odinga has moved to broker a pre-election power-sharing deal in Nairobi among the political parties in the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party, defusing tensions that threatened to derail his campaign.
Under the agreement announced by Mr Odinga on Thursday, his ODM party withdrew its candidate Tim Wanyonyi from the race for Nairobi governor in favour of Equity Bank executive Polycarp Igathe.
