Secret Exposed Why Ruto Wants Raila to be Chairman of AU

Raila Odinga has long been a thorn in President William Ruto’s side, with political observers noting his relentless determination to sideline him from Kenya’s political arena.

However, Raila has vowed to persist until Ruto governs with integrity. Recent developments suggest that Ruto may have a strategy to remove Raila from the 2027 political equation.

Insider reports indicate that Ruto is endorsing Raila for a prominent African Union role, a move that could reshape Kenya’s political landscape. According to sources, Ruto’s camp, led by Prime Cabinet Secretary Hon. Musalia Mudavadi, is actively lobbying for Raila’s election as AU chairperson.

“The Standard Digital” disclosed on Wednesday, “President William Ruto is championing Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga for a significant African Union position in a maneuver that may alter the political terrain and add complexity to the 2027 presidential contest.”

Furthermore, insights suggest that Ruto’s advisors conceived the idea of promoting Raila for the AU position.
