Opposition leader Raila Odinga and his ODM deputy Hassan Joho will meet in Paris, France before jetting back to the country.
While Odinga will be giving a public lecture at Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Joho will tour both German and Russia for official visit as Mombasa Governor.
Abdullahi Musa, a close confident of Governor Joho revealed that the two leaders will hold a meeting although he did not disclose the agenda.
“Raila Odinga head to UK while Governor Joho will fly to Russia and Germany. They will later meet in France,” read his message on Facebook.
At Okoa Kenya offices on Monday, Odinga confirmed his tour, adding that it had nothing to do with the October 26th elections.
“I will be going to UK for a public lecture although I had been given another invitation in US. It will be a one day event and I will be back,” he said.
In his campaign trails, President Uhuru Kenyatta has periodically accused Odinga of using the tour as an excuse to boycott elections.
