Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga said on Sunday he was suspending anti-government protests and was ready for talks after an appeal from President William Ruto, though he warned that demonstrations could restart in days.
Thousands have joined three marches over the past two weeks against high living costs and alleged fraud in last year's vote. All have been marred by violence and a fourth rally was scheduled for Monday.
Ruto defended his administration's record, and said there could be bipartisan reform to the election commission - one of the opposition's central demands."We stand down our demonstrations for Monday - that is tomorrow, April 3, 2023," Odinga told a press conference. "We agree that a balanced parliamentary process co-chaired by both sides and backed by experts from outside should proceed," Odinga said.
