Nasa chief campaigner Musalia Mudavadi has welcomed constructive dialogue following Nasa's meeting as issues at hand are "extremely weighty".

He said this in his address to the press on Monday after a meeting of Opposition politicians with their leader Raila Odinga.

Mudavadi (ANC), Kalonzo (Wiper) and Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang'ula (Ford Kenya) called the meeting after their ODM counterpart resolved to work with President Uhuru Kenyatta to unite the public.

The three said they were not aware this would happen.
