NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya's main opposition party said on Monday it will resume protests over high living costs and alleged election fraud because of what it called the government's lack of commitment to talks.

Opposition leader Raila Odinga halted nationwide demonstrations in early April after an appeal from President William Ruto, who agreed to talks and to reform the election commission - one of the opposition's main demands.
