Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has conceded defeat in the African Union Commission (AUC) chairmanship race, ending Kenya's high-stakes bid for the top continental seat.
"I had offered myself as a candidate, and for the past few months, I have been running around the continent talking to leaders and seeking their votes. Today, they have expressed themselves, and as it is now, we did not succeed. They said we must respect democracy, and therefore, I concede defeat," Odinga said.
