Baringo Senator Gideon Moi has requested President Uhuru Kenyatta to reach out to NASA leader Raila Odinga for talks.
In a Wednesday statement, Senator Moi said Uhuru should follow the footsteps of the late USA President Abraham Lincoln.
"We in KANU are confident that you will rise up and extend the olive branch to those who hold political opinions contrary to yours, and in a spirit of brotherhood steer Kenya towards greater prosperity," he said.
"We equate Kenya society to that of America which was fragmented by civil wars of 1861 to 1865. When Lincoln won the elections he put a plan for peace and unity that was flexible and generous," he added.
Mr Moi said the president has his support even as he embarks on uniting a divided country.
"We assure you of our support and pray that the Almighty grants you the wisdom and energy to continue with your efforts to unite our country which is presently severely fragmented."
