Monday, February 3, 2025 - Environment Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale is confident that former Prime Minister Raila Odinga will clinch the African Union Commission's (AUC) chairmanship by a landslide in elections slated for later this month.
Duale, speaking on Citizen TV on Sunday, February 2, praised
Odinga’s well-executed campaign, which has garnered significant backing from
the Government of President William Ruto.
“Raila is winning. Why would you want him to lose?”
“The campaign by President Ruto for our candidate shows how
crucial this office is for Kenya,” Duale remarked.
Duale highlighted the support Odinga has secured, noting the
presence of nine Heads of State last week in Nairobi, all of whom confirmed
they will vote for Raila.
The CS further revealed that Odinga has engaged with nearly
40 out of the 49 eligible countries, securing substantial endorsements.
“Raila has backing from at least 11 East African nations and
only needs 32 votes to win,”
“Aside from the six nations barred from voting, Raila
has visited almost 40 countries. He already has backing from at least 11
Eastern African nations,” he noted.
