President Mwai Kibaki and opposition leader Raila Odinga agreed to form a coalition government after weeks of wrangling, mediator Kofi Annan said. Once bitterly divided, President Kibaki and opposition leader Raila Odinga were shown on Kenyan television sitting together at a desk during a public ceremony and signing the deal in front of a crowd. Odinga said: "We on our side are completely committed in ensuring that this agreement will succeed. The ball has moved partially from the hands of the negotiators and ourselves to the court of parliament."
