Kenya is watching with bated breath as the African Union Commission (AUC) chairperson election begins in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Kenya's candidate, Raila Odinga, has arrived at the AU headquarters, accompanied by President William Ruto.
The two leaders donned matching suits and ties and shared smiles in a rare display of camaraderie as they made their way to the venue.
Sources told The Standard that the president wished Odinga "good luck" as he prepares to face two other contenders for the top seat.
