Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has challenged Kenya's African Union Commission chairperson hopeful Raila Odinga to help African leaders mobilise support for development purposes, should he land the position.
Speaking during the closing ceremony of the Piny Luo Cultural Festival 2024 in Siaya County on January 2, Museveni revealed Uganda will fully support the candidature of Odinga for the AUC position.
He further challenged the opposition veteran to ensure that he helped the regional leaders brainstorm on how they could best transform Africa. "We're supporting the candidature of Raila for AUC chairmanship.
He will help us to do mobilisation and brainstorming, but the real power is with us here," Museveni explained. Presidents Yoweri Kaguta Museveni(left)and William Ruto together with Raila Odinga at the Piny Luo Cultural Festival in Siaya County on January 1, 2025.
