By Standard ReporterMore than 20 Rift Valley Province MPs meet today in what organisers say are efforts to forge unity. Keiyo South MP, Mr Nicholas Biwott, and Agriculture minister, Mr Kipruto arap Kirwa, have convened the talks at the ASK showground in Eldoret. Also expected are representatives from 42 Kanu branches and elders. The meeting is a follow up on one held in Naivasha last week and attended by 17 MPs.

A fortnight ago, former President Moi, who has since declared support for President Kibaki’s re-election bid, attended similar talks in Eldoret.

Other leaders allied to Eldoret North MP, Mr William Ruto, met elders and declared that the region would be backing ODM, whose presidential candidate is Lang’ata MP, Mr Raila Odinga.
