Raila said the opposition values peace and that the protests were not in anyway meant to cause mayhem in the country.

He said Cord, a coalition he heads always champions for peace and protests he has called against the IEBC were peaceful.

"I reiterated my openness to sincere and forthright dialogue with all stakeholders but reiterated that nationwide demonstrations will resume on Monday at the expiry of the seven day window we had opened," he said.

The opposition after the May 23 bloody protests called off the anti-IEBC protests to give government time to initiate negotiations on how the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission will be disbanded.

Cord wants the electoral body dissolved before August 2017 when the next general election will be conducted.

The Capitol Hill meeting took place about a week after President Uhuru Kenyatta met Kepsa members.

During the meeting, Uhuru asked the alliance's leadership to engage opposition leaders and ask them to halt anti-IEBC demonstrations since the demos disrupt business in the city.

The anti-IEBC protests began a month ago after Mr Odinga accused government of planing to use the electoral body to rig the 2017 presidential election.

Odinga says the Isaack Hassan-led IEBC is too incompetent to conduct a free and fair election.

Kepsa is the private sector apex and umbrella body set up in 2003 with the objective of bringing together the business community in a single voice to engage and influence public policy for an enabling business environment.
