In a surprising turn of events, Raila Odinga has announced his intention to vie for the chairmanship of the African Union (AU) Commission. While Raila's decision may seem bold and ambitious on the surface, it carries significant risks that could potentially spell the end of his illustrious political career.

Raila's move comes at a time when Kenya is grappling with its own internal political dynamics, including power struggles and socio-economic challenges. His decision to shift focus from domestic politics to continental leadership raises serious questions about his priorities and commitment to serving the interests of the Kenyan people.
