While Valetine's Day was a big celebration the world over, perhaps an even bigger day for Kenyans - and some African countries by extension - was the 15th of February, when the new chair of the African Union Commission was elected in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Many Kenyans expressed their outright desire to see Raila Odinga lose his bid for the AUC chairmanship, and their wish was granted on that day.
Although the rejection of Raila at home might have been surprising for the rest of the continent, locally the reasoning is quite clear.
Online as well as in public discourse, it was largely agreed that Raila was not deserving of the seat at AUC.
