Kenya's Cardinal John Njue will not participate in the much-awaited papal conclave to elect Pope Francis's successor due to health reasons.
In an official communication, sources in the Archdiocese of Nairobi, ACI Africa-CNA's news partner in Africa-told the Vatican that Cardinal Njue was not in a health capacity to travel to Rome for the elections.
Cardinal Njue has been unwell for some time, limiting his public appearances and events he participates.
In January, Njue gave an update on his health and revealed that he was not as strong as he used to be, but he still had a duty to look after his flock.
