2. Taita today
The Swahili newspaper addressed a major statement about the eagerly awaited elections of the African Union Commission (AUC) held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Raila Odinga, a prominent Kenyan politician, is vying for the commission's chair in the elections today. For a year ago, he has campaigned throughout Africa, seeking the support of the AU member states.
Odinga faces fierce opposition from Mahmoud Ali Youssouf of Djibouti and Richard Randriamandrato of Madagascar. The victory requires two -thirds of the vote, and if there is no direct winner, the second and third rounds will be organized.
Despite the great campaign and support from Kenya, Odinga faces challenges, especially after the Southern African Development Community (SADC) nations supported Randriamandrato. Analysts warn that his open and noisy campaign does not mean he will win. The results of this election will also mark the respect of Kenya's leadership on the African continent.
