London - Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga on Sunday told BBC television he was willing to incorporate President Mwai Kibaki in government in a bid to resolve the country's political crisis.

Odinga said he was willing to "walk the extra mile" and enter talks with Kibaki, though he did not think he should be forced "at all costs" to bring him into an administration.

Odinga claims Kibaki rigged the December 27 presidential election. Poll monitors said the vote-count was rife with irregularities and more than 360 people died in election-related violence.

"We don't mind the issue of power sharing. But I want it to be known that the problem is to establish who the winner was in these elections," Odinga said, speaking from Kenya.

"I don't think that the winner must be forced at all costs to bring in the loser.

"But in order to resolve the crisis we are willing to talk and then in those processes I am willing to even incorporate Mr Kibaki in the government."

Odinga has rejected an offer made by Kibaki to form a unity cabinet.
