Quest to change governance structure informed Raila Odinga's surprise meeting with President Uhuru Kenyatta and subsequent handshakes with high profile leaders.
Barely a fortnight after meeting retired President Daniel Moi, Raila paid a courtesy call to immediate former President and his grand coalition partner Mwai Kibaki on Friday.
"We want a country where nobody feels left behind. Equal opportunity for all and a level playing field are what our people expect and deserve," Raila said.
Conspicuously, deputy president William Ruto, who seems to have sensed betrayal, was left out in Raila-Uhuru peace deal.
A senior ODM lawyer who spoke in confidence said the former MP is keenly lobbying for a parliamentary system of governance as stipulated in Bomas draft.
"Before he exits, he knows imperial presidency will never solve of problems. Part of the peace truce is to push for parliamentary system.
"Meeting Moi and Kibaki is part of briefing them about the impending changes. He just wants even the minority to some day govern the country," he said.
Already, the DP has signaled his plans to oppose referendum that would push for governance changes, insisting that imperial presidency shall remain.
While Raila may not seek to be Prime Minister if the parliamentary system is passed, Baringo senator Gideon Moi has started warming for the top seat.
In the meeting with Kibaki, Raila is also said to have briefed the former President about the need to fight for inclusiveness in government.
