Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga arrived in Zanzibar on Sunday to attend the East African Community (EAC) ministerial meeting in Kiwengwa. He will engage with ministers on various matters of regional interest.
Odinga’s visit aligns with Kenya’s endorsement of his candidacy for the upcoming African Union Commission (AUC) Chairmanship elections. His discussions with EAC ministers will focus on enhancing regional cooperation and advancing the AU’s agenda for continental integration and development.
Kenya’s support underscores his leadership credentials and commitment to fostering unity across Africa. Odinga’s presence in Zanzibar highlights his role within the East African region and his vision for promoting economic collaboration and political stability.
These discussions aim to strengthen bonds among East African nations and enhance the AU’s capacity to address regional and global challenges effectively. The former premier is also expected to join Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and the Kenyan delegation at the event.
