The plan would involve a broad-based government that would preside for two years, to be replaced via new elections in 2010.
The announcement of the proposal came from a high level member of the opposition party, but it is unclear how Raila Odinga, the main opposition leader, feels about the proposal.
The news of the plan is being heralded as a breakthrough as the opposition had insisted it would only discuss sharing power if Kibaki admitted rigging the vote.

I'm sure this is a welcome step in a bid to halt the unrest that Kenya has faced over the last few weeks.
Here's the piece that reports the initial 'breakthrough' in which Kofi Annan said that all that was needed was a deal over 'power-sharing,' here's hoping with today's news that a final solution for Kenya will be imminent.
