A photo of Azimio la Umoja leader, Raila Odinga, taken alongside President Uhuru Kenyatta, captured him with a swollen face and raised numerous questions and concerns amongst Kenyans.
Odinga was peculiarly in a mask in some of the images that surfaced on Tuesday night, September 6 and others showed him nursing injuries on his swollen face.
Sources privy to the matter noted that the former Prime Minister, 77, had suffered injuries while doing his workouts at home.
They added that Odinga, who lost in a fifth presidential election which he has contested in, fell off a treadmill while working out but confirmed that he was well and had received medical attention.
Photos of the meeting between the two personalities surfaced as late as Tuesday night and more into Wednesday morning, September 7, showing Uhuru in a jovial mood as he interacted with his handshake partner.
Uhuru's eldest son, Jomo Kenyatta, was also present in the meeting that included Siaya Governor James Orengo, Prof Makau Mutua, Winnie Odinga, Ida Odinga, and lawyer Paul Mwangi among others.
Orengo was Raila's lead counsel at the apex court whereby the seven-judge bench led by Chief Justice Martha Koome threw out their petitions in unison, in favour of president-elect, William Ruto and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
The visit came amidst planned series of meetings between the two leaders and Azimio elected members.
Daadab MP-elect, Farah Maalim, confirmed that Uhuru, the chairman of the coalition, convened the meeting at an undisclosed location to chart the way forward.
Uhuru is set to consolidate the party, amid the deflections to President-elect William Ruto's Kenya Kwanza coalition.
Both leaders disagreed with the Supreme Court judgement but said that they would accept the outcome, with Kenyatta promising a smooth handover process.
"We must ask ourselves is it about numbers or is it about the process. Which of these two is it? And can our institutions rule one way in one election and another way in another election without scrutiny? I do invite you Kenyans to keep vigil and, indeed, hold all institutions to account," he said.
