Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga is taking no chances in his quest to be the next African Union Commission (AUC) chairperson. Neither is the government.

On Sunday, President William Ruto hosted Ghana’s President-elect John Mahama at his Narok home in Raila’s company, where the Head of State campaigned for the former premier.

“Thanked him for declaring his support for Hon Raila Odinga‘s African Union Commission chairperson candidature,” Dr Ruto posted on his social media handles.
