The meeting comes nearly a week after Uhuru met the leaders at State House, Mombasa and reportedly backed Raila as his candidate of choice. Sources privy to the developments, nonetheless, argue that the uproar by OKA leaders is part of a well-oiled plan to convince anti-Uhuru politicians that the President's camp is divided. The plan entailed having one OKA leader as Raila's running mate in the upcoming polls.

Raila Odinga, while unveiling his national unity campaign on Tuesday, August 17 in Nakuru, stated that his plan was anchored on fostering peace and economic recovery.
