Nairobi will host a special meeting of heads of State and government to discuss African Union reforms ahead of the upcoming summit in Addis Ababa. But the retreat will also be an opportunity for Kenya to push for the election of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga as the next African Union Commission (AUC) chairperson.
The meeting in Nairobi is scheduled for January 27 and will bring together invited African leaders ahead of the continental body’s polls next month in Ethiopia.
