Raila jetted back to the country on Thursday, after being away for a few days.

He headed straight to Mombasa for a luncheon of Governor Abdulswamad Nassir at Sarova Whitesands.

Raila had taken a vacation with his family to Zanzibar for what he said was to ‘reflect and heal’ after the shocking loss during the August 9 election.

“I have been out of the country; I went to recuperate in the spice Island of Zanzibar. I took my wife, children and grandchildren also to go heal after the shock they got as a family,” he said.

While leaving the country last week, Raila promised to consult his Azimio team on the way forward even as he maintained the outcome of the presidential contest remains ‘indeterminate’.
