President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta has for the first time since the repeat Presidential polls met eye-to-eye with his political nemesis Raila Odinga.

The two met at All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi during a Sunday service.

They were attended the global Anglican Church celebration of its 100th Anniversary, in a mass presided over by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.

Chief Justice David Maraga also attended the service.

Raila has maintained he does not recognize Uhuru as the legitimate President following the repeat polls.

He dismissed them as a sham.

He withdrew from the race citing lack of faith in the IEBC.

He has since launched the National Resistance Movement (NRM) which will be a wing for liberation of Kenyans as he says.

NRM will steer an uprising against Jubilee regime through the People’s Assembly-another organ of the opposition.

Raila last week dismissed the results announced by the IEBC declaring Uhuru as the winner.

He garnered 7.4 million votes while Raila got a paltry 73, 000 votes.

Archbishop Welby has been rallying the two political leaders to dialogue and end the political turmoil that has hit the country.

“We discussed about the situation in Kenya. Reconciliation is done by the parties involved in the difficulty. You can’t impose it on people but you can encourage, enable and take away obstacles from the difficulty,” he said during an interview with KTN.
