Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and ODM leader Raila Odinga met on Friday morning at Moi Airport VIP Lounge in Mombasa.<\/p>\n

This is the first time the duo is meeting since the elections. Details of their meeting are still scanty.<\/p>\n

In a Facebook post, Gachagua revealed the news of their meeting after posting photos of them together.<\/p>\n

“We have tremendous respect for our senior citizens. I was delighted this morning to have a tete a tete with our senior citizen former Prime Minister Raila Odinga,” he said.<\/p>\n

Raila was said to be heading to Machakos for the Azimio Parliamentary Group and Gachagua was heading back to Nairobi after officially opening the Governors’ induction workshop.<\/p>\n

Raila jetted back to the country on Thursday, after being away for a few days.<\/p>\n

He headed straight to Mombasa for a luncheon of Governor Abdulswamad Nassir at Sarova Whitesands.<\/p>\n

Raila had taken a vacation with his family to Zanzibar for what he said was to \u2018reflect and heal\u2019 after the shocking loss during the August 9 election.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been out of the country; I went to recuperate in the spice Island of Zanzibar. I took my wife, children and grandchildren also to go heal after the shock they got as a family,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

While leaving the country last week, Raila promised to consult his Azimio team on the way forward even as he maintained the outcome of the presidential contest remains \u2018indeterminate\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will, jointly with Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party leaders, announce our next steps as we seek to deepen and strengthen our democracy,\u201d Raila said in a statement dated September 12.<\/p>\n
