Ruto urges EAC to back Raila Odinga for AU Commission Chair
President William Ruto has urged the East African Community (EAC) to unite in supporting former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s bid for the African Union Commission (AUC) chairmanship.
President Ruto emphasized that Odinga’s extensive experience, commitment to pan-African ideals, and dedication to fostering regional integration make him the ideal candidate to lead the AUC.
He expressed confidence that Odinga’s leadership would amplify both the region’s and Africa’s voice on the global stage.
“Odinga’s leadership will enable the EAC to champion its shared priorities, protect its interests, and accelerate Africa’s development agenda,” President Ruto said.
