Sunday, June 16, 2024 – Azimio Leader Raila Odinga has secured yet another boost in his bid for the African Union Chairmanship, thanks to President William Ruto.
This is after Algerian President
Abdelmadjid Tebboune agreed to back Raila’s bid for the coveted seat after
meeting Ruto.
In a statement yesterday, Ruto
said the Algerian President has agreed to support Kenya’s candidature in
AUC.
The two Heads of State met on
the sidelines of the G7 meeting in Apulia, Italy.
“I have held a discussion with President Tebboune Amadjid of Algeria, on the sidelines of G7 meeting in Apulia, Italy, who has pledged support for Kenya's Africa Union-Commission chairmanship bid.
"Kenya and Algeria hold a joint position on reforms of the
African Union and International Financial Architecture that seeks to create
equity and inclusion,” read the statement in part.
Raila is seeking to replace
Moussa Faki who is serving in his second and last term as the AUC chairman. The
Elections for the next chairman will be held in 2025 during an AU Summit.
