Monday, May 6, 2024 - Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga is among high-profile Eastern African leaders who are contesting for the position of African Union Chairperson seat.
Raila Odinga,79, is contesting together
with Djibouti's Foreign Minister Mahmoud Youssouf, and Somali’s former deputy
prime minister and current member of the federal parliament Fawzia Yusuf.
According to Orange Democratic Movement
(ODM) blogger, Alinur Mohamed, Raila Odinga has already received intelligence
about the AU seat from the US ambassador to Kenya, Meg Whitman.
Immediately after Raila Odinga
met Whitman at his Karen home, Jakom immediately started
attacking President William Ruto, who promised to back his AU chairperson bid.
Alinur predicted that Whitman
told Raila Odinga that his chances of capturing the AU seat were very slim and
President William Ruto might be playing him.
“Since Raila Odinga joined politics, he never goes wrong on when to say or do something.
"There is a reason why Raila attacked the Kenya Kwanza government just after hosting the US ambassador to Kenya Meg Whitman.
"Raila knows something we don't know,
especially on the AU job,” Alinur wrote on X (formerly Twitter)
