The bipartisan team tasked with addressing issues raised by Azimio indefinitely suspended the talks on Tuesday after failing to agree on the membership of the team.

Addressing separate press conferences after deliberations that lasted over three hours, the two sides confirmed they have disagreed on whether Eldas MP Adan Keynan and Pokot South MP David Pkosing should continue sitting in the talks team.

Last week, President William Ruto and Azimio boss Raila Odinga's troops failed to agree on the inclusion of Keynan and Pkosing to the bipartisan team.

The Ruto camp argued that Pkosing was elected on KUP's Party which entered into a post-election deal with the ruling coalition.

"We have got one sticking issue that needs to be resolved. In our engagement this morning we raised the issue of the inclusion of Eldas MP Adan Keynan as a member of Kenya Kwanza negotiating team," Minority Leader Opiyo Wandayi said.
