In elections held in Ethiopia’s capital on Saturday, heads of state will vote to pick the next AUC Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson.
According to AU norms, voting is conducted by secret ballot and will continue until one of the candidates receives the support of two-thirds of the 55 AU member states, which equates to 33 votes.
Raila will compete against Mahmoud Ali Youssouf of Djibouti and Madagascar’s Richard Randriamandrato in the exercise scheduled for February 15 and 16.
