NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya opposition leader Raila Odinga on Tuesday called for parties outside parliament to be involved in talks on electoral reform and the high cost of living, at odds with President William Ruto's plan for negotiations to be held only within parliament.

Odinga warned of fresh protests if the government did not take demands of the opposition seriously.
