President William Ruto said on Saturday that Guinea Bissau supports Raila Odinga. Odinga wants to be the next chairperson of the African Union Commission (AUC).
Ruto met with Guinea Bissau's President Umaro Sissoco Embaló in Nairobi. Embaló is visiting Kenya. At a press briefing, Ruto thanked Embaló for backing Odinga.
"I deeply appreciate Guinea-Bissau's support for Kenya's candidate," Ruto said. "Odinga is running for AUC Chairperson for the 2025-2028 term."
Ruto said Kenya wants Odinga to win because of the country's commitment to Africa. He believes Odinga will be a visionary leader who focuses on what African countries need and want.
Ruto also praised the friendship between Kenya and Guinea Bissau. He called Kenya a "second home" for Embaló.
Odinga, a former prime minister of Kenya, has been traveling across Africa to campaign. He wants endorsements before the AUC elections next month in Ethiopia.
Odinga recently visited Algeria, Mauritania, and Mozambique, where he shared his ideas for African unity and economic success.
"I spoke about my vision for the African Union," he said in Algeria. "We need to strengthen Pan-Africanism for the good of the whole continent."
In Mauritania, Odinga met with African Union Chairperson Mohamed Ould Ghazouani and other leaders.
