The Democratic Movement and the Government/Party of National Unity in Kenya have agreed to share power in a coalition government. The Agreement on the Principles of Partnership of the Coalition Government was signed by the Orange Democratic Movement and the Government/Party of National Unity on Thursday 28 February 2008. The parties also agreed on The National Accord and Reconciliation Act 2008, which is an act of Parliament to provide for the settlement of the disputes arising from the presidential elections of December 2007.

Since January 2008 the HD Centre has seconded two staff to provide direct support to Mr Kofi Annan and his team on the Panel Secretariat while also providing strategic advice through its senior advisors on tactical issues and the formulation of agreements. In the post agreement phase, the HD Centre will continue to remain involved in the Kenya National Dialogue and Reconciliation process. This will be done through the provision of considered advice to the Panel of Eminent African Personalities, chaired by Mr Kofi Annan.
