WASHINGTON (AFP) — US President George W. Bush on Monday urged Kenya's government and opposition to hold "good faith" talks and urged an end to violence while leaders seek "a lasting political solution."

"I condemn the use of violence as a political tool and appeal to both sides to engage in peaceful dialogue aimed at finding a lasting political solution," in the wake of a disputed December 27 presidential vote, Bush said.

Kenya's President Mwai Kibaki on Monday invited opposition leader Raila Odinga for their first face-to-face talks since the election, as mediation efforts accelerated and the toll from a week of clashes surged to at least 600.

"I now urge both sides to enter this dialogue in good faith to earn back the trust of the Kenyan people, who deserve a political process that reflects their dedication to democracy," Bush said in a statement.

As diplomatic efforts intensified to calm the conflict, the chairman of the African Union, Ghanaian President John Kufuor, was due to arrive in Kenya Wednesday. He is expected to push for a compromise between Kibaki and Odinga.

"I welcome the visit," said Bush. "I remain heartened by the voices of peace that have emerged through Kenya's robust media and civil society. The United States supports their efforts to continue to hold their political leaders to account."

Poll monitors have said the vote count was rife with irregularities and both sides traded accusations of rigging.

The electoral board declared Kibaki the winner December 30, unleashing nationwide riots that quickly developed into deadly tribal vendettas, notably between Kibaki's Kikuyu tribe and Odinga's Luo tribe.
