Rift Valley KANU Officials have asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to accept dialogue with NASA leader Raila Amollo Odinga.

More than 100 officials want the President to reach out to the NASA leader and other stakeholders so they agree on the way forward for the country.

Kenya is facing a political stalemate in the wake of uncertainties around the October 26 repeat poll, in which Raila has said he will not participate.

They said it will be of no use for Jubilee or NASA to force their way when the country is on fire.

Elgeyo Marakwet branch chair Paul Kibet spoke during meeting of the party leaders in Eldoret to discuss the political situation in the country.

KANU coordinators in the region, including Jonathan Bii and Paul Melly, were also present at the Wednesday meeting.

Kibet said the election may take place in a chaotic environment and that violence may be the result.

Kibet said that President Kenyatta should not bury his head in the sand while the country is on the brink of chaos.National Parents Association chairman Nicholas Maiyo also called for dialogue between the political leaders.

They said that situation in the country may even interfere with the KCSE and KCPE national exams.

They spoke hours after the President called for a national prayer day for peace, reconciliation and guidance.
