Many people want to help Raila Odinga win an important job in Africa. President William Ruto and more than 100 other leaders will fly to Addis Ababa to show their support for Raila's becoming the chairman of the African Union Commission.
The big vote is on February 15 and 16. Some leaders will arrive early on Thursday, which shows how much Raila matters in Kenya's politics. If Raila wins this job, both he and President Ruto will be very happy. It would mean good things for Kenya.
Raila has traveled to many different African countries to tell people why he should have this job. He went to places like South Africa, Egypt, and many others. He needs 33 people to vote for him to win. Many countries said they would help him, but the vote happens in secret, and anyone can change their mind at the last minute.
Many people want to be there when the voting happens. Many leaders went to Raila's office asking for special letters, which helped them travel to Ethiopia. Someone named Moses Kuria even said he would bring five other people with him to support Raila.
President Ruto has worked very hard to help Raila win this job, which is different from the past. The last time Kenya tried to win this position, they failed. But this time, everyone in Kenya stands together to support Raila. They believe he can make Africa better.
Raila feels good about his chances. He told people in Nairobi that he had visited many parts of Africa, and he thought most countries would vote for him. He has to beat two other people who want the same job. They come from Djibouti and Madagascar.
