Junet Mohamed is happy with President William Ruto. Junet is a member of parliament in Kenya. He likes that Ruto is helping Raila Odinga. Raila wants to be the head of the African Union Commission. People call this the AUC for short.

Junet thinks Raila has a good chance of winning. He said Ruto's support is a big deal. "When Ruto backs something, it usually works out," Junet explained. He believes Ruto's approval will help Raila a lot.

Raila getting picked for the AUC job would be huge. Junet said it would help Ruto's image for a long time. It could also be great for Kenya and the whole continent of Africa.

The AUC is important. It makes sure the African Union's plans happen. The head of the AUC has a lot of power.

Raila used to be the prime minister of Kenya. He knows a lot about diplomacy. That makes him a strong pick for the AUC role. Many countries in Africa want him to get the job.

For Raila to win, 34 nations need to vote for him. Congo, Nigeria, South Africa, and Somalia are some of the countries that might choose him. Even more have said they will back Raila.

Raila is running against a few others. One is from Djibouti, and another is from Madagascar. They all want to take over for the man from Chad who has the job now.

The election will take place next February at a major meeting of the African Union. Raila's supporters hope he will improve the AUC and bring positive changes to Africa.
