President William Ruto and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga met on Tuesday evening during a State Banquet hosted in honor of King Charles III and his wife, Queen Camila.

Pictures of the two seen by this writer, captured the two leaders in a jovial mood exchanging pleasantries as Mr Odinga greeted the King.

However, they did not sit at the same table, perhaps due to protocol.

Odinga, who was accompanied by Minority Leader Opiyo Wandayi, sat next to Council of Governors Chairperson Anne Waiguru. Notably, near Mr Odinga was US Ambassador Meg Whitman.
