Angola has signalled that it will support Kenya's bid for former prime minister Raila Odinga to win the African Union Commission chairmanship, amid growing public support for Nairobi's candidate.
Angola's Ambassador to Kenya Sianga Samuel Abilio said his country would "stand in solidarity" with Kenya to ensure Mr Odinga wins the top seat. But Mr Abilio remained diplomatic about whether Angola had made a formal commitment to do so.
