New York, US – The push for Raila Odinga to become the next African Union Chairman gained further traction as President William Ruto secured the support from Senegal’s newly elected President Bassirou Diomaye Faye. The two leaders met in New York to discuss this crucial matter.

At only 44 years old, President Faye is the youngest leader in Africa, having been elected on March 24. He has made tackling corruption a top priority in his administration. This aligns with Odinga’s own commitment to fighting this pervasive issue on the continent.

The endorsement from President Faye is a major boost for Odinga’s campaign, which has been gaining momentum in recent weeks. Odinga, a prominent Kenyan opposition leader, has long been a champion for democracy and good governance in Africa.

With the support of Senegal, Odinga’s chances of securing the AU Chairmanship are looking stronger than ever. Both leaders share a vision for a more united, prosperous, and corruption-free Africa, making this partnership a promising one for the future of the continent.

As Odinga’s campaign gains more international backing, it is expected that other African leaders will come on board to show their support for his candidacy. With Odinga’s vast experience in politics and his commitment to bringing positive change to the continent, he is well-positioned to lead the African Union to new heights.

The election for the new AU Chairman is set to take place in early 2022, and all eyes will be on Odinga as he continues to garner support from across the continent. If successful, his appointment will mark a historic moment for Africa, as the first Kenyan to hold this prestigious position
