Women who support Raila Odinga are meeting to pray for him at a special event. They want him to win an important job in Africa. Raila hopes to become the leader of the African Union Commission. The big decision will be made on February 15 in Ethiopia's capital city, Addis Ababa.
The prayer meeting will be held at the Bomas of Kenya on Monday. Many important people will attend, including church leaders and members of Raila's political party, ODM. Raila himself plans to attend before he travels to Ethiopia.
The ODM Women's group organized this special prayer day. These women believe strongly in Raila and want him to lead Africa toward a better future. Esther Passaris, who represents Nairobi, said they want God to help Raila win the election. She thinks Raila has always helped women and fought for what is right in Kenya.
Even people from other political parties will come to pray for Raila. The women want everyone to join them, not just people from their party. Raila finished telling people across Africa about his plans last week. He needs time to rest before the big election on Saturday.
Two other people from Djibouti and Madagascar want the same job as Raila. But many people think Raila might win. Kenya's Deputy President Kindiki said President Ruto wants Raila to win. This shows how President Ruto and Raila became friends after their own election ended. President Ruto travels around Africa, telling leaders to pick Raila for this important job.
