If President William Ruto and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga ’s posts on social media are to be believed, the former premier ‘s bid for the African Union Commission chairperson position is getting widespread continental support.

On the sidelines of Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama’s inauguration last Tuesday, Ruto met several leaders and championed Raila’s candidacy.

On his part, the former Prime Minister has been to Mauritius, where he met Prime Minister, Navinchandra Ramgoolam. By securing endorsements from the continent’s heads, its seems Raila’s victory is within reach.
