Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi says the government will actively campaign for Azimio La Umoja One Kenya coalition Raila Odinga\s African Union Commission Chairman bid.

The AUC election, scheduled for February 2025, is set to determine Mousa Faki’s successor as the commission's chairperson.

While addressing the African Diplomatic Corps in Nairobi on Monday, Mudavadi said Kenya will be seeking the support of African countries for Odinga’s bid.

“Kenya is determined to strengthen its position within the African Union Commission. We will be coming to you to support our candidate,” he stated.

Mudavadi also said Kenya will use its AUC leadership to foster ties between African countries, including trade and investments.

“Kenya is determined to strengthen its position within the African Union Commission,” he said.

He stated that Kenya will participate in the upcoming AUC elections in 2025 to leverage its position within the African Union to champion institutional reforms and advance the Pan-African Agenda.
